SYNOPSIS
As an excursion to the work of botanical and film preservation, “Herbaria” explores in its invisible processes the artistic and political derivations that connect them.
Sustained in a narration where times and spaces seem to merge, the records invite us to the fascinating universe of preserving the beauty and memory of a world that insists on disappearing.
