MARY

2013

MARY is a two-channel video with a score by MJ Williams. Strom uses cinematic language visually, musically and vocally, to stage an elegiac scene. The project mourns the dead standing forest.
The scene’s dead trees are painted vibrant colors and made beautiful again.  A narrator’s voice commands the forest using stage directions such as: “Lights fade”, “Wait”, “Stand by snow” and “Snow go."
