Performance artistique à Trampot filmée par Thierry Passerat (Vimeo).
For the launch of the Artistic Observatory of the ash tree avenue in Trampot, we welcomed the French visual artist Constance Fulda. Fascinated by trees, she placed her Japanese papers - an extremely light and durable paper that does not turn yellow with time - on the bark to capture the intimate history of the ash trees bordering the RD 427. The result is puzzling: each tree revealed a kind of constellation, a complex network of "cores" and filaments resembling a strange mycelium. And, in the centre, the scars left by the department's operatives in 2014.
The audience received a miniature rubbing and a copy of an unpublished handwritten text offered by French poet Christian Bobin.
Vosges Television (ViàVosges) aired a report available here.
Constance Fulda will return to continue her work until each tree has its "portrait".
