VIDEO POST relaunches Anthofluid, liquid painting by Nathalie Gebert where the matter itself is alive. “It is not just a passive substrate but an active participant in the creation of volatile images. It’s a rejection of solid, autonomous forms — embracing becoming over being” (Nathalie Gebert).
Fueled by electric currents, Anthofluid creates pigmental paths in a fluid anthocyanin solution, producing volatile stains that dissolve into watery echoes as they emerge. Here, water acts as an unstable archive, continuously reabsorbing and transforming each trace. The process reflects the flexibility of matter and the fluid dynamics of material life, as explored in, among others, hydrofeminist discourse.
