Zebrafish

Short film


Zebrarfish is a film shaped by time spent inside a biology lab. Microscopic images of zebrafish embryos, genetically modified to fluoresce become the ground for a visual and sonic response. Visions of life mediated through instruments. Micro and macro collide: lab hums, hands, tanks, merging with cellular flows, temporal rhythms alien to human perception.


Visibility ≠ understanding
