Moon Moth Bed<\/em> est un film d’art surr\u00e9aliste, symbolique et \u00e9co-f\u00e9ministe sur la destruction, la renaissance et la conscience collaborative. Inspir\u00e9 par les \u00e9crits \u00e9cof\u00e9ministes et la philosophie panpsychique de Donna Haraway, ce film en prise de vue r\u00e9elle \u00e9tudie l’id\u00e9e que toute mati\u00e8re est consciente et interconnect\u00e9e. Moon Moth Bed <\/em>met en sc\u00e8ne de v\u00e9ritables papillons de nuit qui \u00e9closent de leur cocon au milieu d’un monde de r\u00eave vid\u00e9o \u00e9th\u00e9r\u00e9 compos\u00e9 de cloches, d’une lune miniature et d’un petit lit \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle d’un papillon de nuit. Le film est entour\u00e9 d’un paysage sonore atmosph\u00e9rique compos\u00e9 d’orages grondants, de sons textur\u00e9s et de cloches de temple scintillantes. Dans la s\u00e9quence visuelle culminante de Moon Moth Bed,<\/em> un dispositif deus-ex-machina entre dans le film pour conjurer le chaos. En r\u00e9ponse, le monde onirique de la vid\u00e9o s’anime avec des flux sensuels de miel pour r\u00e9tablir la paix. La vid\u00e9o se termine par des images en forme de cercle qui symbolisent la renaissance et \u00e9voquent l’espoir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moon Moth Bed is a surreal, symbolic, and eco-feminist art-film about destruction, rebirth, and collaborative consciousness. Inspired by Dr. Donna Haraway’s ecofeminist writings and panpsychic philosophy, this live-action, lens-based film investigates the idea that all matter is conscious and interconnected. <\/em>Moon Moth Bed depicts real luna moths hatching from their cocoons amidst an ethereal video dreamworld set with bells, a miniature moon, and a small moth-scale bed. The film is cocooned in an atmospheric soundscape of rumbling thunderstorms, textured sounds, and twinkling temple bells. In Moon Moth Bed’s culminating visual sequence, a deus-ex-machina device enters the film to conjure chaos. In response, the video dreamworld comes alive with sensual flows of honey to restore peace. The video concludes with circle-shaped imagery to symbolize rebirth and conjure hope. Moon Moth Bed was directed, edited, produced, sound-scored, and performed-by multimedia artist Virginia L. Montgomery alongside her hand-raised luna moth collaborators.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia L. Montgomery <\/strong>(VLM) est une artiste multim\u00e9dia travaillant \u00e0 travers la vid\u00e9o, la performance, la conception sonore et la sculpture. Elle est connue pour ses \u0153uvres surr\u00e9alistes uniques, de synth\u00e8se, qui unissent des \u00e9l\u00e9ments du mysticisme, de la science et de sa propre exp\u00e9rience v\u00e9cue en tant qu’individu neurodivergent. Ses \u0153uvres sont surr\u00e9alistes, sensorielles et symboliques. Le sujet passe des pierres aux papillons de nuit et aux machines, alors que VLM d\u00e9ploie un vocabulaire visuel idiosyncrasique de gestes r\u00e9p\u00e9titifs et de symboles r\u00e9cursifs comme des cercles, des trous et des sph\u00e8res. Ses efforts artistiques se caract\u00e9risent par l’exp\u00e9rimentation mat\u00e9rielle, la sensibilit\u00e9 somatique et sa pratique inhabituelle en studio consistant \u00e0 \u00e9lever \u00e0 la main les papillons de nuit et les papillons apparaissant dans ses vid\u00e9os. Les divers mouvements artistiques de VLM interrogent la relation complexe entre les structures physiques et psychiques \u00e0 travers des gestes d\u2019action, d\u2019intimit\u00e9 et d\u2019empathie. VLM m\u00e8ne \u00e9galement une carri\u00e8re parall\u00e8le ; elle travaille comme scribe d’id\u00e9ation visuelle, facilitatrice graphique, une profession unique pour laquelle elle parcourt le monde pour sch\u00e9matiser le d\u00e9veloppement d’id\u00e9es lors de r\u00e9unions de groupe comme les conf\u00e9rences TED, les \u00e9v\u00e9nements DEI et les conf\u00e9rences sur l’innovation. Dans son travail d\u2019artiste artistique, VLM tourne vers l\u2019int\u00e9rieur cet ensemble de comp\u00e9tences professionnelles, qu\u2019elle d\u00e9crit comme le \u00ab trac\u00e9 de cartes mentales \u00bb, pour restituer les contours de son propre subconscient et la symbolique de la narration. Collectivement, les symboles, les formes, les sujets et les gestes de VLM rompent les surfaces mat\u00e9rielles, ouvrant des portails vers l’espoir d’une conscience atomique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia L. Montgomery<\/strong> (VLM) is a multimedia artist working across video, performance, sound design, and sculpture. She is known for her unique, synthesia-esque, surrealist works that unite elements from mysticism, science, and her own lived experience as a neurodivergent individual. Her artwork is surreal, sensorial, and symbolic. It shifts in subject matter from stones to moths and machines, as VLM deploys an idiosyncratic visual vocabulary of repeating gestures and recursive symbols like circles, holes, and spheres. Her artistic efforts are characterized by material experimentation, somatic sensitivity, and her unusual studio practice of hand-raising the moths and butterflies appearing in her videos. VLM\u2019s diverse artistic movements interrogate the complex relationship between physical and psychic structures via gestures of agency, intimacy, and empathy. VLM also holds a parallel career; she works as a visual ideation scribe, a Graphic Facilitator, a unique profession for which she travels the world to diagram the development of ideas at group meetings like TED talks, DEI events, and innovation conferences. In her work as a fine artist, VLM turns this professional skill-set, which she describes as \u201cmind map scribing,\u201d inwards, to render the contours of her own subconscious and the symbolics of storytelling. Collectively, VLM’s symbols, forms, subjects, and gestures rupture material surfaces, opening up portals into the hope of atomic consciousness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
