Video featuring the installation Arbores Laetae [Joyful Trees] made by Diller Scofidio + Renfro at Liverpool Biennal 2008.
Consisting of 17 vibrant hornbeam trees formally planted in a grid pattern, at the heart of this landscape three trees will slowly rotate. In place of the familiar movement of shade according to the rotation of the earth around the sun, here shade migrates at an artificial speed, transforming the familiar patterns of the natural world into artificial creations.
The work transforms a brownfield site, situated on a key route into city centre, into a wooded space for contemplation.
The fifth edition of Liverpool Biennial’s International exhibition opens on 20th September 2008.
2008, Liverpool, England
