Palmed

 

Palmed. 2020. HD Video. 69 seconds

Image Description: A 69 second locked camera vertical video centered on a singular palm tree that takes up the majority of the frame.  A green grassy field with other trees, including palms, surrounds the tree. Light Florida highway traffic  can be seen and heard in the distance.  The centered palm tree is gray and looks like a static digital 3d model. On this static tree rests a digital drape that blows in the wind and eventually is blow off the model. That digital fabric is textured with the original video, thus creating two instances of the same video within a third. 

Palmed 2. 2020. HD Video. 59 seconds

Image Description: a 59 second locked camera vertical video centered on a small grouping of palm trees outside of an unmarked Florida restaurant. The small cluster is gray, alluding to its digital 3d model makeup, but it wears a digital fabric on it like a wet shirt stuck to it. This digital fabric, which gets swept up in the wind and clings to the cluster of trees, is textured with the original video, thus creating two instances of the same video (the background and the fabric) in one composite video.

Palmed 3. 2020. HD Video. 77 seconds

Image Description: A 77 second locked camera vertical video centered on a singular palm tree with a white sports utility video parked in front of it and a Florida highway behind it. A few seconds into the video a large draped cloth the size of the palm tree slowly cascades downwards and makes contact with the palm tree before slowly covering about half of it and the S.U.V below. The digital fabric is textured with the original video, thus creating two instances of the same video (the background and the fabric) in one composite video.
