ADC Contemporary & Building Bridges International Art Exchange presents "The Tree" curated by Anna Dusi, an exhibition focused on Trees. This exhibition is in partnership with the Lucie Foundation and part of the MOPLA (Month of Photography Los Angeles).
“TREE” A tree represents a vital and timeless symbol. Immerses in the mist of a dreamy and surreal land, it is rooted in the earth dense with experience. The image of a tree extracts the essence of the harmony, uneasiness, lack or abundance. It enjoys a privileged relation with the environment; it grows and expands in our mental space to become a source of artistic inspiration, a monument erected to protect our history. This exhibition offers cues and suggestions to deepen our understanding of the relationship between man and nature through a vital plot that unfolds in front of our eyes in a intimate and complex manner. These three photographers introduces us through their individual sensibility and narrative intensity, to a natural element protagonist of the exhibition, a Tree.
