plant blindness, 2021
the human-plant relationship has historically played a huge role in promoting the development of civilization. over the years, plants have found their way into people’s homes as part of the decorations, on the dinner table and in the first aid cabinet.
although plants are still used for a variety of everyday purposes, their value to society has drastically declined over the years, and people are deviating more and more from the symbiotic human-plant relationship they used to have in the past. there are various explanations for this phenomenon, but the main ones are anthropocentrism, speciesism and plant blindness
this animation mainly refers to the phenomenon of plant blindness, which is based on cognitive bias, that predicts humanity’s inability to notice plants in their surroundings, leading to an inability to recognize their need in the common biosphere and in everyday life. it is designed to simplify the less simple
the animation uses rotoscopy, frame animation and stylistic elements of collage
