Single Channel Video 2004. Color. DV PAL. Duration: 3 min 31 sec.
A desolate landscape in the outskirts of a city, a park with suburban housing projects in the background. Dark clouds travel fast across a blue sky. Sudden shifts of light. A single wind-torn tree in the middle of a flooded pond.
The splash of a stone falling into the water, followed by another and yet another. A boy passes by without taking notice. It gradually grows into a hailstorm of raining stones, making the calm water boil. The boy returns, still taking no interest. And then the "rain" stops, just as suddenly as it started.
