Synopsis

A formal experiment sees trees as objects free from their semiotic meaning. The treetops become only a cluster of shapes, colours, and structures intended for digital editing. Instead of a romantic contemplation of nature, the film explores the possibilities of video as a tool for the aesthetic manipulation of reality.  „We actually fell in love, I think: Not with each other but with the video.“ S. Vašulka
