As Long as We Float Together
Imagine all we could achieve together – instead of lives cut short, instead of dreams evicted. Often, it seems that we, trees and humans, exist in conflict, one growth against the other, competing for space on Earth. But this is a misconception: the forest is a multispecies organism and is always open to including humans in its community.
But what do we do when forests and trees are under threat? Is there a safe place where they can be transported? There is only one way to save them – to work together. This exhibition project narrates examples where people and trees have acted together, in physical proximity, for a common interest. While they didn't always win, they always accomplished something.
The project is a tribute to the activists, conservationists, and many dedicated individuals who have not hesitated to sacrifice personal comfort in the name of saving endangered trees.
The series of exhibited works was the template for the Floating Arboretum project, the Slovak representation at the Venice Biennale. Pohoda Festival will also feature a new version of the object – a boat that serves as a venue for a musical performance prepared for the Venice Biennale by poet Juliana Sokolová, musician Fero Király, choreographer Petra Fornayová, and textile designer Michaela Bednárová (curated by Lydia Pribišová).
