Shining Nature (2025)
La vie en fluo
Overview
From the jungles of Singapore to the coral reefs of Indonesia, from the ornaments of Australian budgies to the deceptive traps of carnivorous plants, this film explores a world where light becomes language. Seduction, camouflage, overexploitation, reproduction: fluorescence directs behavior, often without us noticing. A light phenomenon that science is just beginning to decipher.
