NatureMeditationScene II (Meditation-Beach)
(2021)

The video work is part of a search to find a form for nature, or rather the depiction of nature in digital space. The depiction of nature often serves to shape digital spaces, it is transferred and becomes part of a digital construct/a digital landscape in which we move. If man-made nature is landscape, is nature shown also landscape because it is made? Or is it always just an image? How is nature distorted by its depiction in digital space? Where does it occur/how do we use the depiction of nature in digital space? For example, in video chat apps as a background, as a computer screensaver or as advertising that promises relaxation. Is it a kind of ideal state? Is it supposed to promise relaxation? Can/should the reference to nature in digital space serve as a kind of balance? Can people draw meditative elements from it? How are my/our memories of nature stored, how are they reproduced in digital space and how do they then return to "real" space? What happens through this double transformation? How are sounds connected to these memories of nature? What do they trigger? In my videos, I ask myself these questions and want to distort the view of nature, make nature absurd and explore the question of relaxation and meditative elements.
