Rotoscoped video
DV/ PAL Dur: 02:00 min/ sound
The video begins with a small light point in a black space, that gradually grows bigger as it approaches the viewer. The sound track is a looped track of the wind in the tree, looped to remind and sound like a rhythmical breath of air.As the object approaches, one recognizes it as a small tree, standing in the dark, the branches gently swaying in the wind.The movement of the tree comes to a halt. Then a stimulating disco fades in and the sound of the wind blowing fades out. The tree starts moving rhythmically to the disco.The branches pound hard and rhythmically to the disco.Towards the end of the short video, theres a fade back to the soft, gentle breath of the wind, and the branches swaying in the wind.
