Mimicry
Video showing how the production of orchids, as a symbol of nature, becomes automatized. The footage of a bee and the machines that encourage faster growth become integral to the natural orchid, asking questions about colonization and the relationship between nature and the machine.
The video includes footage from an orchid factory, showing the process of producing an ever more efficient production line. The factory setting reveals how biological growth becomes indistinguishable from industrial output, with machines regulating light, temperature, and nutrients to accelerate the orchid’s lifecycle.
