Ash Tree
Directed by Sarah Vanagt. Video-installation, 5 projections in loop, DV-cam, colour, sound (no dialogue), 12 min, 2007.
A girl on a graveyard touches the tombstones. Her hand glides over the letters, the carved inscriptions. Can she read death, can she see death? In Ash Tree, the beginning of all knowledge, the alphabet, mingles with the end of all knowledge, death.
