entry description
Shadows Hiding is the attempt to transport the feeling of nightly walks in the nearby Forest. During daytime the forrest seemed more like a huge park . Many hiking trails and small paths traverse it like the roots of ivy traversing the bark of trees. Houses, roads, and other people never seem far away. Due to its proximity to Mainz, a highway runs in the immediate vicinity of the forest, mixing with the sounds of Birds, Wind and Leaves, even merging with them after a while of listening. Nevertheless, the Lennebergwald is a forest, I said to myself, and went out searching for the forest within the forest. After living there for a while I went out one night with friends. I decided to hike the three kilometres distance to the next train station. Therfore i had to chross the Forrest. On the way back I realised that I again had to cross the forest, but this time at night. I was by no means prepared for this circumstance. Suddenly what lay before me was the wild, raw, and unpredictable place I was looking for. Wrapped in darkness and invisible to my eyes during daytime.The Series is usually exibited on black background.
