Phoenixbaum (2015) VIDEO Leaf at the Roots für fastFORWARD Media: Wood, photos, paper tape, fire - everything caught on tape and mixed with music.
As the first branches were added to the tree, I had an idea for a quite literal reduction of the whole. The image of the burning tree entered my mind. Saturday night, then, which was also the night of the full moon (I love this symbolism!), I built the tree, BD took the camera and filmed the burning process. Now, I had to edit it really quickly, before the whole grew on. So I took 3 songs (BD - 3TWIG180101, AnasthaZia - UpDownUpDown, and Dee Jernigan - Tree of Life) from the tree, sampled them and put atmospheric effects on top, plus bird and forest sounds.
