2014, site-specific, silver gilded tree & a pond, 5 m, 4th Landart Festival, Zwierzyniec, Poland “[…] A silver birch, with exposed roots, proportionate to the crown marks the place most holiest of the holy, where a fluent transition between the world of the living and the dead occurs (alchemists tried to grow a similar tree, as they were convinced that metals, including silver, have a plant nature). An ancient place of worship, a strange chapel or maybe even a revelation – no matter which of these associations come to mind – a charming corner of the park takes on a new meaning.” by Sylvia Hejno
