Dutch photographer Gerco de Ruijter loves looking down on the Earth. But don’t worry, he’s not some snob. He just seems obsessed with gaining new perspectives, as evidenced by the time he invaded the Netherlands with a pigeon, and his stunning aerial photography of tree farms.This time he’s gone to even further heights. “Crops” is a stop-motion film he put together using aerial and satellite images of irrigation crop circles. For those of you who haven’t been a country bumpkin, many cultivated farmlands look like huge patchwork quilts of circles, fed by the massive irrigation systems that rotate on a central pivot. According to the Vimeo description — posted by Michel Banabila, who scored the video — the work is a commentary on the vast quantities of water required to feed our crops, which has contributed to rivers like the Colorado running dry.The work is slightly haunting, and with the score, reminds me of some off-kilter projected movie that might pop up in a game like Riven. As BLDGBLOG points out, it’s also reminiscent of the tree ring turntable created by Bartholomäus Traubeck. But no matter the interpretation, the work has one essential truth: All of that water and all of those circles are down there, waiting to end up in your belly.
