Folia

Calculating how short-duration cinema might set about to examine the experience of a tree that plays out in year-long cycles, this 24-minute video experimented with polylinear construction and polytemporal scaling of sound and image that were recorded during one 24-hour slice of street life in the span of a city block. A preliminary study for THE SOCIAL LIVES OF URBAN TREES, Folia combined observational cinema techniques with interval recording to trace characteristic rhythms, humors, drifts, and parallel passages through the sidewalk forest.
