Connecting the branches of a tree with the ground it grows from. Making peope connect with trees. This installation was the starting point for a series of installations 'Connection' with strings in trees.
An installation made for LekArt festival 'sharing territories' in 2016.
I attached ropes in trees before, usually with branches in them, sometimes without. Only when I used about three hundred strings in this large apple tree did I see the effect. The combination of the tight rhythm of the strings with the rough shape of the branches gives an intriguing effect, especially if you walk in or along it. Visitors experience the tree in a very different, intense way that also determines their view after the festival. At the request of the neighborhood, the installation stayed in place for a few months.
