A STILL LIFE<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Still Life (Part I)<\/b> draws attention to six dead or dying trees in Cape Town and presents an alternative experience of mourning, loss and death through the lens of a tree. The trees parallel the relentless awareness of our mortality experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, while at the same time offering an antidote \u2013 a moment of beauty that reminds us of the cyclical nature of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A dying tree offers stillness in a fast-paced city environment. The symbiotic nature of its ecosystem also suggests there is still life in and amongst death. Like traditional still life artworks (natura morta<\/em>) that immortalise dead natural objects this project pays homage to trees, the lungs of our cities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visitors journey by way of a digital map to the life story of each of the six trees and the human histories they have lived through. The map includes photographs of temporary site-specific art installations that provoke viewers to contemplate their own existence within a greater context.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
