Experiencing Interruptions?

STICKS

Video Sticks is an "extract" or another version of the older (more meditative) work (12 Sticks).
The video was created as a recording of a site-specific installation. Several colored sticks were placed in the middle of the forest. The sticks were located in the place where there was a "dead zone" (in the otherwise green forest there was a part where for inexplicable reasons there were only dry trees), I called the zone the Garden of Gethsemane. Colored sticks are an attempt to bring something "vital" into an inanimate space. It is initially an attempt to rebirth the place.
