David Hockney: The Four Seasons, Woldgate Woods

British painter David Hockney created The Four Seasons, Woldgate Woods in his native Yorkshire, England. With these videos, he updates the classic theme of the four seasons by taking advantage of digital technology to capture the essence of nature and human perception.​​

Seeking out optimum light and weather conditions, Hockney and his team filmed four video sequences, focusing nine cameras at different angles and exposures along the same stretch of a country road, documenting the changing seasons over one year. The resulting montages mimic the way people perceive their surroundings, as the human gaze never rests on a single point, but instead wanders, zooms in, and changes direction.
