Ine van Son

In a silent piece of wood an extraordinary event takes place: a gathering of white trees. Through a number of days the gathering grows. More trees arrive; smaller, wrapped in a piece of blanket. As if they have had to cover long long distances. And only their upside is white. Finally some more follow, also wrapped in fabric, but no white at all. In different stages of development. Then suddenly, after a week, they have all left.

This is not the first time that the trees went travelling. Last year I already had the privilege to observe them. I a silent piece of wood in France.

What has moved these normally steady rooted trees moved to leave on a journey? What events in the world have brought them here together?
