PARAÍSO

Marina Lameiro | Maddi Barber

Two men measure the heights of pine trees. A woman listens to what the trees are saying. The children of the village set up the camp.  A cloud of digital dots reveals the forest. The pines have said that we can ask. They always called this place “Paraíso”.

Machines will come soon.
