The artist revisits the decade-old footage of the Substation Banyan tree being cut down to create a new video work “This Tree We Must Save, and Other Stories”. Ten years after the tree was transplanted, the artist remains conflicted about the episode as he juxtaposes recordings of the tree being cut with timelapse of a growing secondary forest. Words are weaved into the video as the artist contemplates upon the binary perspective of humanity’s actions and their consequences towards nature, seeking to consider alternative ways of thinking about our relationship with nature.
