WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS: LOOKING IN LOOKING OUT, 2025
Saatchi Gallery's new exhibition, Flowers - Flora in Contemporary Art and Culture, is a dazzling symphony of colour, featuring over 500 artworks exploring the influence of flowers in today's art and cultural landscape.
Worlds Within Worlds is a video projection over 5m x 3m, considering our symbiotic bond with nature and the quiet rhythms of growth, decay and renewal, that inspire and move us to create. Humanity takes shape through the layers of organic matter - gold and enigmatic - yet infused with sharp-edged fears; hinting at the tension between human innovation and nature as the source of our inspiration.
The soundscape, designed by Dr Tom Binnie, features layers of subtle earthly tones and vibrations from distant signals in space. The ghost orchid footage was shared by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
This work was designed by Tom de Houwer and produced by HERB Flower Studio.
