“Art Tree”, live action format

A stepladder.
A body in balance.
Hands placing objects that cannot be seen.

The tree appears through movement.

Press and documentation

“For almost an hour, the artist moved up and down a stepladder, hanging non-existent ornaments on a non-existent tree. The jury called it a ‘conceptual miracle’.”
— Daria Loshakova, IA Apelsin, 2006

“The tree is invisible — it can only be felt.”
— Olga Gentseleva, Vesti Ural, 2006

Recognition
