Created in 1968, Ian McMillan’s Sunflowers begins with a reedy woodwind accompaniment to a moving camera, journeying the length of a sunflower stalk. A female figure shifts sideways across the frame, as the camera highlights the contours of hip, back and shoulder. Images of human life-cycle, from pregnancy to old age, are intercut as the camera moves, at human face height, through a densely populated field of sunflowers in bloom, followed by a slow pull away from tightly packed rows of central buds.
