Reversal is a video installation that highlights changes and cycles in the hierarchies of nature. At the same time, it refers to the forest fires in the Amazon and life after the fire, as well as the hope of a possible renaturation of the Amazon. Death is reflected in the video as a source of nourishment, the narrative elements increasingly intermingling and encircling an aesthetic of transience and unsettling silence.

The installation consists of materials from a fire-ravaged hectare of rainforest and images of the Latin American Amazon. The spiralling burnt branch, which seems to emerge from the ground, opens and is simultaneously released through its coils resembling a living element after death. Like the video, it hints at the hope of a renaturation of the Amazon after the fire, the hope of reforestation and the power of the Amazon to recover after destruction through nature's own regenerative processes.

The installation contains materials and recordings from the Latin American Amazon (wood and ash). The video installation was exhibited as part of the 2018 graduate exhibition at the HFBK and as part of the Vienna Biennale for Change 2021 at the SMOLKA Gallery.
