About this exposition

In a forest in the Hague there are two dead trees. The trees are neighbours of similar age. The have fallen over next to each other, felled by the rot of an invading fungi, which also appears long dead. The stumps and the roots, still attached to the ground, have been completely hollowed out by the rot. The hollow extends into the earth, seemingly through the roots. The dark stumps stand in dark contrast to their vivid surroundings. The holes in them, created by the invading rot, and the dryness of dead wood make for a weird acoustic. It began as an attempt to study them. By drawing, climbing, listening to and singing into them I had hoped to unlock the potential I saw. This document is a journal of my observations on the trees, on my place in the forest and a report on the interventions they inspired.
