„Colors of Earth“ was my final project at the DFFB. The concept was simply a filmic reading of the four elements of our planet: water, air, fire and earth in their association.

I cannot write any selfinterpretation despite of saying, that the short off-text before the final visit to a Stromboli-crater is Natty Bampoo reminding a group of prairie settlers that the tree is the oldest and noblest living thing on our planet and as such sets a limit to our vanity as the pride of creation.
