Metallic tree planting, revenge of the iron beam.

I decided to plant metallic trees with some iron beams i had taken from a demolished building, in this way i wanted to manifest the “revenge of the iron beams”.

I made a kind of performance – demonstration, by forcing visitors to interact with them and with me planting them.
