Urban nature - and what it yet has to say ... does it work? Nature cannot "say" anything to us and it certainly can’t be urban, because if it were urbanized, it is no longer natural.
It was in Berlin.
Through a Sunday morning meditation outside in a park, I was inspired to a video project.
The raw material for two videos was created there.
The two videos that I edited in the studio are very similar and still different.
The urban nature —
The urban nature —
Attempt of an interpretation
This is about the urban and about nature.
Both in combination, as the titles says,
is already not well possible. The urban, the urbanization,
the urban settlement area has nothing to do with nature.
Because nature usually designates something that was not created by man.
And that's why the combination is interesting!
The titles of the two videos are:
- The urban nature — and what it still / yet has to tell us
- The urban nature — and what it still / yet would like to tell us
Important in the German titles are the words "noch".
In German there is an ambiguity in relation to past and future.
Therefore, the translation into English is difficult.
"Yet" or "still" do not fully meet the word "noch".
What could nature tell us? Perhaps:
- Why is this hurry?
- You have taken the space from me, I want it back!
- And so far you have brought it!
- Nice that you let me this little space!
- And finally we are combined...
- And where is the orderliness?
- And this should be for your recovering!
- Leave me alone.
- I was here first!
- Go on! I get my space back. Sooner or later!
- Open your eyes! You are missing your life!
- And after you the disaster!
In order to shorten the download time, I reduced the resolution of the videos. However, this shows less details. Also watermarks are included. For a projection or display on a larger screen, the videos are available in full HD quality without watermark.
