Japanese artistYoshiyuki Katayamahighlights the relationship between insects and flowers through exceptional videos.
For eight years, he has been adding new work to his ongoingUmweltseries.
The work merges a time-lapse video of flowers blooming together with insects crawling on the plants in slow motion.
This makes for a dynamic composite as the slow motion and time-lapse create a hypnotic video.
I also enjoy watching the mechanism of life unfold in a small, confined space.
The process of how natural life rises, grows, and then falls away captivates me.
The series has been screened at numerous institutions and film festivals, earning several awards for its creative imagery.
Katayama doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
He regularly publishesUmweltvideos onVimeoandInstagram, proving that nature’s inspiration never fades.
