Tree Crowns | Christoph Franke

“For Christoph, trees represent the connection between energy (air, light) and the material world (soil, earth).

He opted to position the treetops upside down in the final work to invite the viewer to an encounter with the tree as a natural being.

Each time he is working on the tree crowns, he takes numerous single frames to be assembled later.

Through this intimate “face-to-face” with the trees, he wants to capture the primordial energy of these ancient living beings.

His series is based on a visualization of the alchemical formula “Above is one with below, inside is one with outside, spirit is one with body”.
