This project re-examines the traditional idea of woods by animating seemingly rigid landscape elements. Renowned American architectural group Diller Scofidio + Renfro arranged a number of Chinese Junipers on the lawn, while three planted at a 10-degree bias in rotating turntables. Rhythmic patterns of shadow and light are created when the trees rotate. The audience is invited to immerse themselves in this unique experience with nature and enjoy the tranquillity of Oi!.
