Night Tree

This photographic series of urban trees in the violet hour alludes to rhizomatic intelligence and the plenitude of the more-than-human world.

A scene from Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1975 film, The Mirror, speaks to the sensibility of the project:

“Look at these roots, these bushes. Did you ever wonder about plants—feeling, being aware, even perceiving? The trees, this beechnut—they’re in no hurry, while we rush around and speak in platitudes. It’s because we don’t trust our inner natures. There’s all this doubt, haste—lack of time to stop and think.”

Night Tree is also presented as multiple volumes of accordion-folded and other artist’s books, hence the grid format.
