Trevor Yeung, Two Reliers, 2020 @museum.de

In Two Reliers by Trevor Yeung, a young ginkgo tree enters a close relationship with a small streetlamp fitted out with a pink LED light. The lamp serves as physical support for the little tree and also promotes its growth at night. Cultural progress has forced nature into a state of dependency on humankind. Yeung’s work can be read as critical commentary, but also as an intimate gesture of reconciliation between humans and nature.
