Experiencing Interruptions?

Tree

The video begins with two adjacent images of delicate textures resembling sections of vast landscapes.

Through zooming and panning, it eventually becomes apparent that the images are in fact photographs of stumps of different trees, at which point all camera movements cease.

The composition of the two still images forms a new object in itself. Here, the video becomes a still portrait of this newly formed object. However, its status of being a still image soon ends as it loops back into a video.
