Emilie Grange's 'Bucolic' Animates Flowers in a Two-and-a-Half-Minute Video

digital · 2026-04-27

French director Emilie Grange has created 'Bucolic', a short animated video dedicated to floral subjects. Produced by Thomas Blanchard, the two-and-a-half-minute piece features primroses, peonies, violets, roses, and daisies immersed in water, animated with sprays of color that make the plants 'explode' within extraordinary settings. The soundtrack is Perry Como's 'Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo' from Cinderella. The video references historical floral art from Van Gogh's sunflowers to Hans Memling's still lifes, Andy Warhol's Flower Series, and erotic photographs by Mapplethorpe and Ren Hang.
