For her project “Trees” (2009), Anastasia Khoroshilova invited drama students from the “Special art school for people with restricted physical abilities” in Moscow, asking them to improvise on the theme of “tree” in urban spaces. Their gestural mastery, finesse and expressiveness were then documented by the artist in well-framed, attentive-to-composition shots, her camera being interested in portraying the students as much as in their performances.
