The film FELICITY OF A RICE GRAIN evolved from a previous work, SYMBOLS OF LUCK. This film, commissioned by the Nieuwe Ooster Cemetery in Amsterdam, brought together symbols of luck from various cultures as a memorial to deceased loved ones.
Rice immediately stood out to me; it's food that is recognised as a symbol of luck in the West and East. Driven by my interest in observing everyday actions, I decided to further study the rice and its symbolic value.
Slowmotion and the installation of the rice hills are important for contemplation.
