Synopsis

Karø Goldt’s video tulipa, like the previous films in her abstract plant-film series, concentrates on the formal interplay between colour and sound. For this, Goldt once again uses a digital flower picture as the starting point for her cinematic conversation. The picture is disaggregated into its chromatic components and then transferred to an abstract stripe pattern. Thus, in tulipa, too, not much remains of the romantic genre of the flower picture, other than the title and the electronically scanned colour values of the original picture. (Marc Glöde)
