I want to study plant physiological processes within the root, stem and leaf of trees under varying environmental conditions at the Swiss Federal Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL. My work mainly will consist of an open series of experimental studies, such as audio-video works, performances, drawing and writing. My studies are aiming towards a greater understanding of mechanisms and processes of trees as they are growing in their natural and controlled environment. The aims is to create situations where environmental and physiological confluences become apparent and tangible, working towards an unpredictable, live and/or interactive event that allows an intimate experience of the interior of trees.
