Entomography #536, Heliconius Sapho, 2022
In this new venture, Xavi Bou directs his spotlight onto the world of insects.
It’s a realm currently facing one of the most significant population declines, yet its intricacies and importance often go unnoticed. With this project, Bou endeavors to shed light on the plight of insects while simultaneously highlighting their aesthetic allure.
Entomographies is the result of the collaboration with the entomologist and videographer Adrian Smith from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
Smith’s expertise in entomology combined with Bou’s adeptness behind the camera lens provides a rich foundation for his artistic vision. Bou meticulously processes and manipulates the recorded material, utilizing his artistic sensibilities to reveal the mesmerizing patterns and intricacies of insect flight.
Through this collaboration and artistic exploration, Bou aims not only to showcase the aesthetic marvels of insect flight but also to spark conversations about the importance of preserving insect populations and their habitats.
Xavi Bou’s Entomographies stands as a testament to the power of art to not only captivate but also to educate and advocate for the preservation of our natural world.
