Performance, RMN-Grand Palais, Paris, France, (0.20.07), 2017

I Am a Tree tackles the climate issues caused by human activities by confronting them with our daily lives. With my body covered in black and white images of cut and withered trees and plants, I captivate the spectator’s attention by looking them straight in the eye. Gradually, I tear apart these images that envelop me, as if it were my own skin I am ripping, to offer them as a gift.

This performance serves as a commitment against our irresponsibility towards nature, both in its flora and fauna, evoking the destruction and disappearance of our planet. Through “I Am a Tree,” I aim to evoke a sense of awareness in the audience, prompting them to reflect on our relationship with nature and emphasizing the urgency to preserve and protect our environment.
