out of touch (franklinia still life)

About This Movie

Out of Touch (Franklinia Still Life) is an intriguing dive into the concept of fragility and loss. The way John Winn uses an old 2002 video camera creates this grainy, almost nostalgic texture that feels like a distant memory. The image of the franklinia flower pinned on a wall contrasts so sharply with its extinction, it’s haunting. The pacing is deliberate, allowing those disjointed movements to linger, making you ponder the passage of time. There’s a certain eeriness in the transition from natural light to electrical darkness, almost like the encroaching oblivion of things we’ve lost. The whole piece is a meditation, not just on a flower but on broader themes of memory and decay.
