Monument aux arbres tombés - Installation de Gregor Božič
Monument aux arbres tombés
Monument to the fallen trees
De Gregor Božič, installation 2021
How do trees shape our perception of space in urban areas, how do they impact our ability to appreciate light and sounds? How do they define our idea of the common and of the shared? How does the emotional experience of the environment change when trees are cut down and get replaced by dead materials such as concrete and steel? And what kind of community abides in profit-driven structures that most often replace public areas where trees have grown before? The interactive audio-visual installation reflects on the value of trees as experiential and community-shaping constituents of our physical and mental space. The visitor is positioned in a symbolic, human-made gameplay frame, culturally approved on a worldwide scale – a basketball court. The setting invites the visitor to interact with the presence of trees and so reflect on individual's responsibility to advocate for nature in urban environments.
A stealthy monument to the fallen trees.
