"This lyrical film is consistent with the themes of melancholy and loss in Martin’s other films. Bleached-out images of a snowy landscape reveal the dark outlines of dead evergreen trees. As we contemplate this season’s casualties, somewhere a plane flies overhead as if to signify man’s mediated, mechanical presence in the natural context."

Maria Insell

 

RM Note: "A sculptural and quasi-performance piece involving discarded Christmas trees. A meditation on passing and the things-left-behind."
