Cradle (2022) is a new short film created by the Canadian artist @philip.beesley from the University of Waterloo, the Cannes Lion-winning London artists @warrendupreeznickthorntonjones, and Amsterdam-based sound artist @sssalvadorrr Actress @tilleydupreez Within the Cradle film, a child-like being emerges, reflecting the fundamental journey from death into new life. Rising and falling in cycles, deeply fragmented wilderness is interwoven with shimmering, hopeful light. Whispering voices emerge from cavernous depths, creating an emotional passage from suffering through new life and innocent wonder. Together, the film and sound composition offer an almost overwhelmingly intense experience of innumerable worlds falling into chaos and rising again in new life. An extended, immersive version of this film accompanied the installation Grove exhibited at the 2021 Biennale of Architecture in Venice. #cradle #shortfilm #livingarchitecturesystems #philipbeesley #interactiveenvironment #responsivedesign #experimentalarchitecture #canadianartist #canadianarchitecture #livingarchitecture #contemporaryart #installationart
