Day with Old Tjikko 1
Arlander Annette
The video depicts a day with Old Tjikko, one of the oldest trees in the world. On 14 May 2019, I visited Old Tjikko, with Camilla Bäckstrand, and spent the day by the 9950 year old spruce tree growing on Fulufjället in Dalarna in Sweden. I recorded a moment with the tree every hour between 10.30 and 19.30, and edited the material into the video Day with Old Tjikko 1, where I simply stand next to the tree.
