The project, titled “Der Baum”, departs from the newly published book of the same title, which presents a series of 44 photographs the artist has taken
during the past few years in different places, in each of which a tree stands in front of a specific background.
Starting with the grave of Adolf Hitler’s parents in Leonding, the trees cover locations in Brasilia, São Paulo, Berlin, Kassel, München, Istanbul
and many other sites, joining discourses related to history, contemporary crime news, simple curiosities or wholly unspectacular and unidentified places.
