The exhibition of international and Hungarian artists started from a garden in Budapest, analysing the issues related to the decline of a well-known tree species, the spruce. The present exhibition, extending the local, Eastern European context, presents the complex ecological, horticultural, social and cultural issues of tree mortality through stories about trees. The exhibition explores the contemporary issues of the human and the more-than-human connection.
At the same time, the research-based exhibition complements the artists’ playful-critical works with local activist-experimental examples that offer models for new strategies for replacing trees or urban possibilities for creating functioning ecosystems.
