In the forest of the Catholic Monastery of Admont in Austria a fir tree is felled and processed into planks of wood. By train, truck, boat and finally by hand, the stack is transported to a mysterious destination right in the heart of the Brazilian rainforest. The wooden planks’ trajectory corresponds to one of the central trade routes of raw materials, however in the opposite direction. The film is a meditative and subtle comment on the absurdity of the economic rationale that underlies our globalised world. Each sequence of shots corresponds to a stage in the process.
Daniel Zimmermann is a visual artist, dramaturge and film director. Originally trained as wood sculptor, he works on film, installation and performance art. His works are based on a fictional actionism located between visual and performance art. His films received numerous awards and grants and have been shown at renowned international film festivals, such as Berlinale, International Film Festival Rotterdam and Sundance Film Festival.
