Day with a Juniper (with text)

Arlander Annette

The video depicts a day spent with a juniper. On 3 August 2019, I spent a day with a juniper on Utö, Finland, performing for camera every hour between 7 am and 9 pm, sitting next to the shrub, writing some notes after each session. The material is edited to include the spoken and recorded notes as a voice-over.
