The edition includes three components: a DVD of ten 2.5 minute videos created by Melissa Oresky; a 55 minute CD of music by Zak Boerger, from which the music for the videos was taken; and a silkscreened poster, that when folded serves as the jacket for the DVD / CD set.
The music, the video footage, and the paper collage elements used in the making of the videos were created during a two week artist’s residency at the Petrified Forest National Park in June 2013.
In the videos, plants in the landscape serve as actors in a shadowplay, with the wind and the changing angle of light activating a series of painted backdrops. Set to collaborator Zak Boerger’s multilayered, guitar-based sound design, this work could be described as generated by landscape, rather than illustrating it.
