Le Musée du Grand Dehors (The Museum of the Great Outdoors)
With Sara Black and Charlie Vinz
Sara Black, Charlie Vinz, and I showed this in the Thailand Biennale in Krabi from November 2, 2018 to February 28, 2019. Continuing the threads of thinking begun in Witness Tree, we charcoalized a 140-foot tree and constructed a museum around it in the Than Bok Khorani National Park.
The transformed material of the tree, pure carbon, now sequestered for up to 2000 years, offers a moment of pause in our larger carbon respiratory cycle. This museum, illuminated by the sun, with a carbon on carbon interior, offers a space for close looking and a potential glimpse into deep time.
