Associate Professor in Film Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, author of La pensée cartographique des images. Cinéma et culture visuelle (Aléas, 2011) and co-editor of Puissances du végétal et cinéma animiste (Les Presses du Réel, 2020), Teresa Castro discusses in this interview the tradition of time-lapse films dealing with the life of flowers and plants: a tradition of mediated plants, in which the non-human temporal scales of the vegetal world meet the temporalities of the film apparatus and of human perception.
