Flowers Blooming In Our Throats
Filmed in 16mm just after the lockdown caused by COVID-19, Flowers Blooming In Our Throats is an intimate, poetic portrait of the fragile balances that govern everyday life in a domestic setting. The artist films a group of her friends in their own homes, performing various small actions in accordance with her instructions. Giolo chooses to walk a shifting line where gestures remain symbolically ambiguous, expressing a kind of violence that is not immediately recognizable.
