Agnes Meyer-Brandis: As Trees Go By

Agnes Meyer-Brandis (b. 1973) has long observed trees, forests and the atmosphere, whose complex and peculiar phenomena could, without her art, easily go unnoticed. Wandering trees, forest colour and the scents emitted by trees are examples of topics that Meyer-Brandis has explored artistically and in dialogue with natural scientists in Finland and around the world.

A fruitful collaboration with the with the Hyytiälä Forest Station of the University of Helsinki in Pirkanmaa and the Climate Whirl Arts Program began in 2013, and the exhibition will be the world premiere of a multi-channel video work, Wandering Tree, filmed in 2021–2024 in Ruovesi, in the protected Siikaneva fen. The exhibition is curated by Ulla Taipale.
