Photography, Projection, Sound, and Poetics by Kylie Supski.

This exhibition is part of Ballarat International Foto Biennale - Open Program.

In Floriography, photographer Kylie Supski explores the idea of nature as storyteller—where flowers act as metaphors, and each bloom carries a meaning beyond its petals.

This immersive 60 min projection-based show reframes photography as a way of expressing felt experiences, rather than simply capturing memories.

Structured into twelve movements Floriography presents floral portraits, along with original live spoken word poetry performed by Supski. Each chapter features a distinct species or pairing—lily, dahlia, sunflower, cactus, and more brought to life through large-scale projections, accompanied by an original ambient soundtrack, created natively in virtual reality by Reverse Butcher. The audio and visuals intertwine, forming a shifting, audio-reactive landscape where color, light, and sound pulse together.

The images have been captured using a Canon EOS R digital camera, and have been carefully animated using Adobe After Effects. Supski's unique creative process honors the craft of photography, while embracing new media forms of expression. No AI was used to create these images.

Floriography is a sensory garden—an invitation to slow down and experience the quiet poetry of nature through light, sound, and image.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
