The artwork is deeply inspired by Frida’s words: "The
green miracle of the landscape of my body becomes in
you the whole nature. I fly through it to caress the
rounded hills with my fingertips, my hands sink into the
shadowy valleys in an urge to possess and I'm enveloped
in the embrace of gentle branches, green and cool. I
penetrate the sex of the whole earth, her heat chars me
and my entire body is rubbed by the freshness of the
tender leaves."
Inspired by Raizes (The roots), Frida Kahlo, 1943
Electronic music inspired by sound of plants, by the
composer Loïse Bulot.
