In a desolate, nocturnal landscape a barren tree slowly rotates above a pond, its roots touching the water surface. The Poisson’s Equation is an equation used in electrostatics, theoretical physics and the calculation of gravitational forces. In this case, the latter applies.

This is a remake of The Poisson’s Equation, HD seamless loop, b/w, silent, 03’00”, 2014.

Sometimes an older work benefits from a remake. ‘The Poisson’s Equation’ was originally made in 2014 – parallel to the 3-channel work ‘Inertia’ – as a HD loop. vII is a 4K version which also resolved some technical issues in the original version. 

The scene returns in the main film of the three-channel video installation ‘Inertia‘ (2014-2015, at 06’30”).
