The ticking of a clock and the roots of an orchid seedling anchoring themselves in their substrate: hour, flower grows out of a visit to an orchid nursery in Pingtung, tracing the global passage of flowers under manipulated light and the intertwined day–night cycles of humans and plants. The exhibition includes a short 16 mm film capturing the rhythm of the world’s largest flower auction near Amsterdam, where plants from across the globe arrive before being dispatched throughout Europe. Serné was drawn to the hypnotic pace of this process, choosing to work with analogue film to highlight the contrast between the abundance and speed of circulating goods and the slowness and constraints of the medium itself.
