Rhizosphere
2025 · 3D Animation, installation
Roots grow and retract, generated mathematically from an estimate of how a tree extends underground. Their paths bend around stones that are never shown.
The black background removes the soil the roots depend on. What remains is the movement itself and the shape the absent stones impose on it. Where the roots do not bend, they grind against the stones and grow into the cracks. Roots can be older than the trunk they support, and they are only one part of the plant, relating continuously to what cannot be seen.
