A curation by Olivier Tenedor, Manager at Quorum - Vertical and silent presences, trees traverse the works like figures of long-term time. Anchored in the ground and open to the sky, they embody stability, growth, and transformation. Whether depicted as central subjects or peripheral elements of the landscape, they structure the space, impose a rhythm, and sometimes become markers of memory or resistance. These works question our relationship to living things, to nature as observed, exploited, or idealized. The tree appears sometimes as a symbol, sometimes as a material, revealing a constant tension between contemplation and responsibility.
