Walking among giants: the lifespan of trees
‘Trees have this really special way of making us feel small’
Among the Trees was a 2020 Hayward Gallery exhibition which brought together artworks by 37 artists who each explore our relationship with trees and forests.
In this video Hayward Gallery Curatorial Assistant Marie-Charlotte Carrier explores one of the themes of Among the Trees – the way that trees, with lifespans so much longer than our own, challenge the way that we think about time, and put our human lives in perspective.
The exhibition Among the Trees was at Hayward Gallery from 4 March until 31 October 2020.
‘Trees make us realise how short lived we are as a species, compared to these giants who have been on this earth for thousands and thousands of years. They create a different sense of time.’
