In Into the Trees #1 and Into the Trees #2, branches and grasses lying across each other condense into a thicket. In a clearing, the sky shines through the foliage of the trees. In Into the Trees #1, the black and white structure of an agricultural round bale net containing remnants of straw stretches across the lower part of the image. In Into the Trees #2, a narrow strip of blue paint runs through the right side of the photograph. It alludes to the frame of a self-driving agricultural machine that is currently being developed and uses various AI applications.

 

Both photographic works were created in the context of the video project Into the Magnetic Fields (2024), which examines how birds, humans, and machines process, transit, and intervene in landscapes and spaces.
