In the video work aesculus I  the branch of a chestnut tree is used to visualize a fluorecent phenomena. 
The bark of this tree contains a substance called Aesculin. Once put in water this substance begins to flow out of the branch and starts to glow bluish in the dark under UV-light. The video is not slowed down and it shows the movement of the substance in real time. This tree is very common in Zurich and when I came across this experiment a couple years ago I was immediately fascinated by it’s presence. I was so irritated and I started to question my relationship and my approach towards other living forms. This simple shift in visibility and understanding interests me the most in the field of art.
