Becoming a tree with a tree

What is it about?

I am sharing my experiences of practicing a simple yoga pose with various trees, often daily for a month, in order to create video works. This was part of a project where I explored how to be able to encounter trees. I noticed a tension between an inward focus, trying to keep my balance, and an outward focus on the tree.

Why is it important?

Finding ways to become aware of and respect living beings that we share this planet with, such as trees, is an urgent task for artists and other practitioners. I suggest that maintaining the tension between somatic awareness and environmental awareness while engaged in simply practices can be helpful.
