UmArts Artist researcher in residency Ana Zdravkovi\u0107 is currently working on a new artwork. This project is exploring the forest through the lens of its biodiversity and intricate web of connections, where every organism plays a role in maintaining a cohesive whole. The new work, an installation, will construct a forest using everything but trees, emphasizing overlooked smaller-scale organisms\u00a0installation. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new artwork will construct a forest using everything but trees, emphasizing overlooked smaller-scale organisms. Despite their size, these tiny beings are essential to forest ecosystems, contributing to their health, resilience, and biodiversity.\u00a0\u00a0You are welcome to contribute ideas, texts, objects, artworks to this large installation to create a collection of visual representations of the diverse organisms that compose Swedish forests. The installation will feature cut-out drawings on paper, suspended in space, allowing visitors to “walk through” the forest seen from this unique perspective. The species selected for the installation include lichens, fungi, mosses, plants, insects, molluscs, birds, and mammals, with a focus on those classified as Nationally Extinct (RE), Acutely Threatened (CR), Highly Threatened (EN), and Vulnerable (V).[*]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to drop by and discuss your participation, or simply have a look at the development of the artwork.
