During a three-month residency serving as the Goethe at LUX Artist in Residence, Rosenfeld created a new filmic work entitled Fuck Tree. After spending time in the LUX film archive, Liz came across Price‘s film, Sodom. At the time of its completion, Sodom was questioned by both the far-left and far-right for its depiction of the AIDS Crisis and its reflections on ‘pre-AIDS’ gay culture. After extensive research into the history, methodology and imagery of Sodom, Rosenfeld decided to create a new film portraying an infamous tree in the cruising area of Hampstead Heath while also reflecting on their own questions relating to shifting ecologies and queer historical public spaces. Taking from Luther Price’s methodologies of eroding film, Rosenfeld buried parts of their original print in the LUX Garden and also soaked it in their own cum.

While in residence at LUX, Liz conducted creative research dealing with questions of queer dystopia, a positive embrace of apocalypse, invisible genocide, and drawing parallels between the way information was publicly disseminated in the early days of the AIDS/ HIV crisis and the current spread of information about climate change and environmental destruction.
