In this installation Nika Neelova is looking to expose the origins, the heritage, the background, the anchor, the usually hidden and neglected, the never exposed part of trees. The already fallen or uprooted trees are the residues of a history, they carry the traces of an abandoned past, the narrative and memory of another place. Their extraction and removal from their original setting generates a physical and historical displacement symbolizing detachment and the disruption of a permanent connection. The very gesture of planting trees upside down is intended to resurrect the origins and displace the content. It is the rupture of their orientation that is composing the poetics of an abandoned past.
