entry description
This is a side project from my series multiexpo. 'Stadtbaum' means urban tree. It's about urban trees and their resistance against the high urbanization level. You can find trees in the city everywhere but they are on the retreat. More and more the cities becomes a concrete desert. I want to seperate the individual trees and erect them a small monument. I use for this series a 35mm film camera. Each image is a multiple exposure on one frame.about the photographer
