NoTree can be described as a new-process video novel or meta-series, creating its own rules through self-creation. It represents a daily reflection on life during an ongoing war.
The editing laws emerge from the material itself, rather than being imposed on it, and in this sense, they possess an open code that is formed using biological approaches to reproduction and distribution: "division," "copying," "genome editing," "budding," "rhizomatics," and so on.
At the core of NoTree lies the forms of authorship that arise through the interpretation of past art from the perspective of the present day. A key feature of the project is its fundamentally hyperlinked structure, which, on one hand, creates a complex network capable of encompassing different temporal frames, linking numerous texts, images, and videos through the identification of similarities, typological, categorical, archetypical, topological, and other connections. On the other hand, it serves as a survival strategy for culture in the face of harsh state and societal censorship and other forms of pressure.
A distinctive feature of the project is its work with both randomness and the predictability of catastrophic events. The visible chaos turns out to be a strict system of order and sequences, which, due to the inaction of the participants, becomes fate, leading to fatalism and the fatalization of what is happening in the space of life. "The feeling that we are living through the pages of a history textbook."
The project consists of over 900 minutes of original editing, numerous texts and images. Its calendar-based structuring allows the observer to find "then" and compare it with "now."
