The Tree is a site-specific project created in March 1997, involving a dozen apples placed on the pavement underneath a tree in a bustling city setting.

 

The project aimed to capture the reactions of passersby, whether they looked up in puzzlement, ignored the apples, or took them. These interactions were photographed and recorded on video, later exhibited in Central St. Martin's Window Gallery, directly opposite the actual tree in London.

​

After its initial iteration in London, The Tree was also performed in New York and Berlin. These repetitions allowed the project to engage with different urban contexts, each time inviting pedestrians to pause, look up, and reflect on their surroundings.
