A slow pan along a forest that breaks off at a small terrace in the foreground of the picture. Slender conifers stretch upwards over cut and fallen trunks, dead branches and roots, churned soil and dry grass, and parade past one another, structuring the space to impenetrable depths. The apparent naturalism does not hold up for long. Something is not quite right with this picture, this movement. In the background the trunks begin to stretch out horizontally. The image as a whole turns out to be artificial, its realism the result of elaborate reconstruction. With a self-written program, Rainer Gamsjäger reorders the (vertical) picture lines of his shots, thus transferring the passing of time into the space of a single image compiled from the smallest (one pixel wide) snippets of hundreds of originally successive images.
