Synopsis
BOUQUETS 31-40 continues, like the previous Bouquets, to explore different places, which for various reasons, are ecological. For 31-40 they are in France, in Ardèche, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Tarn and Vaucluse and also in Piemont, Italy.

There is something very powerful between the aggressive nature of film (light plus editing) set against the natural settings.
-
This was my introduction to Rose Lowder and man, her shit is so much more metal than I anticipated. Incredible textures and rhythms, supreme flashes. It felt like hovering.
-
32 & 34 have interesting uses of animals (insects and turtles respectively). The last three feel particularly bold for not really being her usual stuff.
-
the sprinkler performing these glitch dances over sprigs of wildflowers is so beautifully .. Lowderian it distills a series of forty bouquets into a single flower. these films fill me with joy and love and .. yearning! how pathetic to admit on the internet that you yearn but such is the power of these flowers from mme lowder. i want rural europe and a camera. i will watch these films often for the rest of my life if all goes well.

Relevant portion excerpted from my TIFF 2023: Wavelengths report for Reverse Shot:
Firmly in the latter category is French-Peruvian artist Rose Lowder, who has been active for roughly five decades, and who presented Bouquets 31-40, the latest set of her minute-long Bouquets series started in 1994. As in the rest of this ongoing project, Lowder here trains her camera on mostly natural subjects—flowers, insects, animals—and works frame by frame, rapidly alternating between static, discontinuous views to create thrilling cadences of reconstructed motion. This method, honed over years, and elaborated in the manner of a musical score, creates in each “bouquet” a unique interplay between motion and stasis. Depending on what objects or creatures are in view, Lowder’s editing patterns engender…

This is NUTS I should not have skipped Bouquets 11-30 I missed SO MUCH. There is some insane stylistic evolution going on here. It’s like they hit Rose Lowder with the Benning ray. A little bit. Not really.
SPOILERS: Turtle in the rain in bouquet 34 literally dropped my jaw. One of the greatest images I’ve ever seen. In any context. Lowder legit kinda sorta best ever?
-
I think I might just be homesick, but this made me really miss my grandma in a way I haven’t in a long time. I don’t have any family photos or videos to look back on, but this feels like a kind of beautiful metaphorical substitute of sorts.
-
Really enjoyed these bouquets intermingled with home video snippets, felt like you got a bit of regular Lowder combined with a bit of BTS Lowder and the more Lowder the better I always say
-
Watching all 40 of the Bouquet shorts consecutively gives a glimpse at the workings of an artistic project 27 years (and counting!) in the making. There is a clear sense of the greater control Lowder has over her technique, with more intricate rhythmic interplays of images and more variation in visual tempo. It certainly hasn't worn out its welcome for me yet.

Shot between 2014 and 2022 in France and Italy, Bouquets 31-40 is the latest compendium by avant-garde stalwart Rose Lowder, at once elegant and electric in its portrayal of the natural world and the loved ones who inhabit its periphery.

"Bouquets 31-40" tiene un montaje eléctrico y tajante para potenciar el movimiento dentro del propio plano. Todo se mueve, todo está vivo. Precioso.
