Our trees radiate in urban settlements as interconnecting matrixes between the social, economical and cultural powers. We crack borders using trees (as a symbol for society) and wind (as a symbol for freedom). We want to point out the strong contrast between the dehumanization in big urban centers and the need of a enhanced communication between different cultural identities through nature, art and technology.

 

Our installations are ironic mirrors of urban situations in which specific environments are divided by their own development processes. We create critical perceptual moments for our audiences:  sometimes related with the impossibility to cross from one identity-niche to another, challenging the sense of freedom (with focus on the different factors which create these divisions),

 

 

and sometimes providing the audience the possibility to travel with our installations within a borderless manifestation of nature.

 

Our work call upon the four "anti-paradigms" of the actual liberal-democratic capitalism, as the factors by which this system may not be sustainable any more: The ecological marketing  era (the ecology's crisis viewed as a market resource); the end of the intellectual property (the challenged digital corporations); the end of nature (the natural organisms transformed into objects... the ecology without nature), and the new-apartheid society created by the massive immigration of people to richer countries (the hyper-identity era, yet to come).
