In Bloom

Rounding off our 'Flora' series is a movement focused collaboration between Anna Trevelyan and duo Meinke Klein. Referencing amateur handheld YouTube footage of roller coasters and watersides and Disney's vision of Alice falling down the rabbit hole in 'Alice in Wonderland', the GIFs explore the varying shapes and colours of flowers, all while challenging the conventions of moving imagery.

About

The last installment in our Flora series is a movement focused collaboration between stylist Anna Trevelyan and photography duo Meinke Klein that challenges the perception of GIFs as retro low-budget stop-motions. The initiative draws direct inspiration from Nick Knight's most recent body of work, and offers a vision of the GIF as a dynamic, refined fluid animation.

Referencing amateur handheld YouTube footage of roller coasters and watersides, as well as Disney's depiction of Alice falling down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland, the works eschew the typical romantic notions of flowers, and instead explore their unique bold shapes and colours. As well as challenging accepted connotations of moving image, the works also show off some fabulous fashion, with looks by floral-fans such as Erdem, Sibling, Simone Rocha, Meadham Kirchhoff and Dries Van Noten all making an appearance.

    I find Meinke Klein's playful visions fascinating. I wanted to create this minimal cosmic 'Alice' girl falling through a floral galaxy!

    We wanted to present the GIF as a high-end looping animation instead of the nineties home-made flashy stop-motion, as it's mostly known
