Forst

Red rose petals fall on mossy ground. Observed by hunters and gatherers, athletes struggle through the undergrowth. Hikers and nature lovers rest their picturesque bodies while children succomb to the magic spell of modern mythical creatures. The forest has always been the starting point of many fairy tales, myths and legends.

In his video collage "Forst" Ulu Braun draws an artistic trajectory from primeval forest steeped in legends to media-hyped nature theme park. An ecstatic passion play about nature, achievement and human degeneration.
