Disenchantment of trees

a videowork illustrating the tension between the disenchanted industrial forest and the sacred status the forest used to have.

its branches to the ground

to receive power from the earth

dressing the birch in women’s clothing

cutting her down,

bringing her home as an honored guest

throwing her into a river

back to nature ]
