| A team is at work dissecting
what appears to be a simple bush. The examination is carried out with
such conviction and reverence, towards something which is seemingly
so mundane, that the whole process appears quite absurd. The focus becomes the actions and techniques employed; through observation and simple measuring devices they document their findings, communicating with subtle gestures, with only a few numbers and mumbles exchanged. Sitting somewhere between science documentary and fiction, this work reflects on how we as humans construct methods to learn about the physical world around us. |
