Company of Trees
SEAR, Helen
In this film, a figure in a red dress walks circles around numbered beech trees marked for felling. The film cuts back and forth between a changing forest landscape in a pulsing, hypnotic rhythm. The painted numbers mark the forest as a site of production and is juxtaposed with the enchanted quality of the landscape.
