Chlorofilm is a collaborative project by designer Eden Zinchik and filmmaker Pablo Garcia Garcia. The video uses a feedback loop technique, a live recording of a projection wherein a maple leaf is suspended between camera and projector, between input and output, backlit by its own image as seen by the camera. Casting a dancing display of light and shadow through the plant.




This is a clip of the fist minute of the video

Combining the digital and organic realms while blurring the line between the cell and the pixel as foundational units that converge on the screen. The gradual and cyclical rise and fall in light, follow the natural rhythms of growth and decay, while also mimicking the constant flow of information.

By projecting the image of the leaf onto itself, the video creates an endless cycle, a feedback loop that challenges the viewer to consider the parallels between organic life and the algorithms that shape our digital world. Through this process, the maple leaf transcends living matter, slowly losing its form into a frenzied flow of data and information.

Ultimately, Chlorofilm is a contemplation on the computational imagination of nature, and the ways in which we create and consume both biotic and digital forms. Through this experimental and hypnotic film, the familiar becomes strange, and the digital comes to life.
