Abstract

The goal of this paper is to highlight the ecological aspect in the works of fi lmmaker Rose Lowder. Her fi lms are shot outdoors, in nature, and aim to modify visual perception and image-based representation, foregrounding the materiality of the fi lmic medium. Her fi lmography, characterized by its use of unique shooting and editing techniques, is remarkable for its calculation regarding creative possibilities. The parameters of investigation outlined in this study are the fi lmic procedures that stress the aesthetic and ecological qualities of this artist’s work
