Stop Motion Animation, Installation

Tree, Tree is an animation installation about a boy who wants to become a tree.

In an abandoned place in the woods, he follows the myths as guidance and manuals, trying to bring stories into reality.
Based on findings in old scripts, he opens his arms to welcome birds to rest on him; makes mud trees from dawn to dusk; and hugs the tree through the night.
His memories are revealed through stop-motion animation in dirty frames, and the stories are kept in an old cabinet.

Multilayered in its storytelling approach, the work is an invitation to look into your own understanding of myths, and root back in the most sublime imaginations of nature.
