IN A BEAUTIFUL AND QUIET LOCATION

Open Frame Award

Groups of trees, gently rolling meadows, covered in fog, seemingly deserted, like in a beautiful landscape painting. What follows is a test arrangement that symbolically stages human intervention in the landscape. Pyrotechnic effects produce a thick, white smoke that slowly engulfs the entire picture space: a monochrome surface, which lies like a second screen between the gaze and the reproduction. As the contours of the trees peel from the fog again, several layers of association have been laid over the wafting white.
