Berlin Tree 01 is a result of conceptualizing how humans "like" to capture nature. Like pigeon holders "ring" "their" animals, so I "ringed" a tree (to make it mine?). There is much more conceptual and minimalistic about this work, but this is enough writing for now. 


Think about it: why capture, restrain and control nature if we cannot control our own human explosive growth and al the environmental and ecological catastrophes as result of this overpopulation. Maybe we should restrain our self's and our offspring. 

That way of thinking let me to make this performance.
