In a valley of Green

In a valley of Green

In a valley of Green is a short B&W film (6:08) composed of footage shot in the spring of 2024 - formed into an experimental video piece a year later. 

A depiction of the harsh mix of nature and the ever changing urban landscape and the impact of civil development. 

Following on the path of exploring your surroundings, started with the 3 piece (Tomorrow we where looking at Rixdorf - Berlin, 2019) this is the next investigative exploration of my new living space in Ghent, Belgium.  I followed the path carved along the Coupure where the tramlines were being renewed, an intrusive act on the ancient trees flanking the water. With harsh man made materials. This contrast firmly with the naturally present decay and shapes I found in the "Groene vallei", just around the corner, connected by water.
