An event with no beginning and no end, no division between stage and public, no specified path to take – it is a theatre liberated from rules. From the stalls to the circles to the stage, a forest of trees has grown and spread throughout the entire Concert Hall. The light of dawn barely shines on this valley obscured by clouds. This is an in-between reality, an image of an environment, a fact that appears for a brief moment just before vanishing.
In 2008 the Sydney Opera house was transformed into a beautiful forest, audiences with flashlights upon their heads found their way around the paths, trying to find different ways to go.. Though there really wasn't to much freedom and ropes kept you out of bounds.. But Putting that aside, it was dark, you could feel the moisture on your skin, and it was a one off experience. A forest in the Opera house... Was it amazing??
"Someone walking between the trees tells a story. As the voice draws the audience into the forest, the lyrics of the song tell how to find a way out; out of the Concert Hall and into the reality of a place elsewhere.
The Concert Hall presents a geographical displacement. This image is a diversion, an extension towards another world and yet it is the same. The song is a map for a journey towards what constitutes the image. It is a line following a chain of events in the life of an environment."
Huyghe has been creating a variety of artworks and collaborative projects since the early 1990s. Interested in the exhibition as a moment where potential new realities can emerge, in the freedom of non-productive actions, in the layering of interpretations, both factual and fictional, and in experience as a territory of infinite possible narratives, Huyghe’s practice has earned him a reputation as one of the most experimental artists of his generation.
Evident in his works is a recurring desire to introduce a space of speculation and play into art, and the impulse to consider art as a landscape in which to make manifest the way people can, and do, react to the homogenising attempts embedded in consumer culture by encouraging the dynamic reconstruction of their everyday lives.
the simplicity of growing and letting grow, overshadow and mellow down the implications
I think the way we all look at nature is different and definitely affects us all in many ways, there are a few statements that i like from the blogs that id like to keep on here. Sometimes we just dont need a reason, sometimes things are just the way they are, I have an obsession with trees, and i Do love peace, and quiet. THis is a photo that i took in Canada, most beautiful country ever! Maybe this image represented me at the time.. the past or present. I know its a part of me, just like this project is a part of everyone participating in it. I guess watching something grow is personal, which makes you change in some manner or grow.
Plants grow to heal the soil - (soul?)
They mostly relate to the relationship between time and change - (and the inner)
Things grow, change through time, and to witness the slow unfolding of change demystify stiff solutions,
defined resolutions- (being)
“We must teach more by example than by word.” (1867)
