Despite its hyper-realistic appearance, Wildfire (meditation on fire) is not a film shot on location. Originally conceived in 2019–20 for Musea Brugge, the 24-minute single-channel video projection uses 3D computer techniques and a simple camera movement to depict a spectacular wildfire in an artificially rendered landscape. Moving at a very slow pace, views of a luscious forest slowly merge into dramatic—and hypnotic—still images of destructive flames. Projected on a large-scale free-standing screen, the work seems to absorb the viewer into its hellish scenery.
