This exhibition gathers artists, botanists, philosophers in order to share their last scientific researches about these plants.

We discover drawings, paints photos, movies and artist facilities, from Latin America, Europa, United States, Iran, but also from indigenous and indian communities from the amazon forest.

The exhibition takes place in 3 stages: trees knowledge, their aesthetic and their devastation.
