In the video-art animation Balletbaum (Ballet Tree, 2009), Linda Franke exposes the intimacy of 10 individuals in the toilet, tooth-brushing, going to bed, cooking, etc. They repeat their individual actions constantly, but between each sequence they synchronize together to the music of a big band, reminiscent of Hollywood in the 50′s, in a simple and charming choreography. Every action takes place in the branch of a tree.
