Winter Phenomenon is an ongoing archive of plastic bags, rubbish, and random leftovers caught in the naked trees of NYC, primarily during the winter, documenting a visual choreography of wind-curated waste.
Every single dot on this screen represents a tree planted across New York City, all five boroughs, a living network mapped from open data.
The Dark dots on this map indicate trees carrying bags, capturing an unsolved metropolitan phenomenon. This is a living archive. You are invited to contribute to this growing documentation by uploading your own video sightings of bags in the branches.
