Family Tree
(working title)

Concept:
Tree Art Object

The tree symbolizes the connection between generations. The last branch is younger than the trunk, but through its genetic memory it is older, and very often this memory weight is so heavy that the branch can fold and brake. I do not know if one can live without memory but one need to get free from that weight, for life to go on. To get free, so as not to brake the energetic connection.

Description:
A large white wall outside where is drawn a Family Tree. In front of it is the archetype of a family. In the earth is planted a trunk where are fixed smaller branches and this way the trunk look like a tree. On the edge of those branches are stones fixed with woolen and cotton threads. The threads are covered with paraffin.
More threads are hanging from the branches on the way to the floor.
The action starts when the performer put fire to the threads, which ??? and let the stones fire without damaging the trunk or the branches. The branches get back to their initial position without the weight of the stone.
