Ulmus Laevis
Hyvärinen Aimo
Ulmus Laevis (Pen Elm) is a poetic video and photographic work about the Finland's northernmost pen elm and its thoughts as the seasons change. The work evokes thoughts about the relationship between nature and human and attempts to convey the beauty of trees to all of us.
Quote from pen elm's speech:
"Imagine what the dance of light feels like on the surface of thousands of leaves, what is transmitted to my roots through bacteria and microbes, how I photosynthesize and generate oxygen for you all and keep the air alive..."
