Liquid Crystals
A meditative, visually stunning microscopic study of crystal formations set to electronic music, inviting contemplation of hidden beauty in the natural world.
Title cards introduce images we watch without narration; they are displays of shape and color. François de Roubaix's electronic music accompanies these images, photographed under a polarizing microscope. The crystals appear to move like tiny organisms: small four-part fans share the frame with flowing lines of pink. Multiple patterns appear side by side.
