The experimental forest, the name of a place, a title, and a statement of intent. The first step into this forest is represented as a black-and-white-silhouette, branchen against a background of clouds moving rapidly across the sky, with a modulating soundtrack that records and further develops nature ' s sounds. A picture, whose aesthetic excess takes up well-known references to landscape paintings and photography, as well as art cinema. But as soon as one penetrates deeper into the forest, the visual and tonal register changes, the view-moves ever closer to the landscape's pre-civilizational elements; vegetation, water and wildlife. Achtung urns to details, rhythm; to subtil and also überraschenden changes and movements. Nature ' s enigmatic aspekt moves to the forefront and the viewer is captivated by formal beauty, by pictures, which must first be decoded in their visual alienation and-play of various size beziehungen.
