What does it mean to metaphorically cultivate the land and how does it relate to the actual, physical transformation of the Earth?

I have been interested in green screens, both as a tool and an object in itself, a fertile ground on which the enactment of creation myths and creation of myths takes place. In my research, I have been exploring the lack of a stable identity resulting from a constant movement between fictional worlds. Looking for the real amidst the fictions produced by visual culture, I have explored landscape as a way of shaping the land, of cultivating it, literally and metaphorically.

The green of the green screen is to me the feeling of both hope and greed - a desire for an alternative future, a new beginning, but also an escapist gratification, an instant relief. I think this duality can be translated broader into image formation and image production. In this project therefore I try to see the differences between the two and subvert them in my video works.

Fo now I, am in the process of developing two videos along with my research. Ideally I would like them to be connected as part of a video installation, in which one video would influence the other and vice versa.

I have been collecting footage of a person in a green cape from everywhere I go for more than a year now.The figure to me represents a shifting identity of a groundless body.
