Rose petals fall on mossy ground. Athletes pave their way through the thicket of the forest - observed by hunters and gatherers. Hikers and nature lovers indulge in their bodies, while children are under the magic spell of modern mythical creatures. Fairy tales, myths and legends - the starting point of many of these stories has always been the forest. Ulu Brauns aestheticizing video collage FORST spans an arc from a primeval forest saturated in mysticism to the mediatized nature theme park. An ecstatic passion-play about nature, power and your own decomposition.
