Trees in Winter presents three separate takes of a tree shot against the background of stormy winter skies. The wind chafes at the few remaining dead leaves and the branches shake. In the gallery the projected image is edited live, with sequential decisions determined by measurements of wind conditions outside the gallery taken by an anemometer.
