It is assembled from 25 – 35 individual recordings. The number of recordings depends on the size of the tree. This results in a witness of an encounter over a period of time, compared to a snapshot in a conventional photography. The appearance of the tree remains unaffected. With this special technique, Christoph Franke wants to transfer the energy of the nature tree into the photo. Christoph composes the treetops “top standing” in order to invite the viewer to an encounter with the nature tree, instead of classifying them – as usual – in common experiences and expectations. It fascinates the appearance of the trees in winter with their network of branches extending from the inside to the outside.
