DescriptionEvolution, development and natural phenomenons are central themes of the video installation "Something about Nature and Evolution". On a round surface the drawing is showing elements of diagrams overlapping with scenes of nature, plants, the underseeworld but also related forms of evolution theory, math and astrology. All elements are placed on the structure of a tree, interpreted in different ways. On one hand as a real tree with roots and branches, on the other like the so called "hillis tree" which is illustrating in schematic way the development of life. Starting from the center of the circle, ending up in branch-like structures on the edges, which again turn into the shore line of a coast.On particular parts of the drawing video sequenzes are projected and due to the crossfading of the video some parts double themselves or let them disappear. Birds are flying around the roots, fish schools are appearing in the very treetop. Exotic plants are turning into waves and the boundaries between diagrams and real scenes disappear. Everything is influencing everything and welters in circles of water and lines.
