🌲 About the exhibition
This exhibition is located in a stately home where the doorknob is a woman's hand that knocks with an apple to enter; but where the life of trees and living beings may seem distant to us today.
They are often presented to us as images that glide across our screens with a newfound fragility that becomes untouchable. At the same time, our minds flicker with shadows we call climate anxiety, because within that distancing we also know that life outdoors defines our ability to live indoors.
The House and the Forest shines with that contemporary emotional climate, which comes and goes like hope and fear, desire, numbness, pain and joy, refracting through a historic domestic space: because today's home has a yesterday.
