stray trees.
(EN)Stray-Trees is a social sculpture aiming to connect plants, places and subjectivities through guerrilla gardening. A romantic ecology project, a gesture of inhabiting spaces and ideas, a network of plants and thoughts. A place to observe, do and question what is free and what is occupied. A poetic and ecological stroll inspired by the aimlessly walking of the Situationists and the nocturnal sowing of the guerrilla gardeners.
Having as a starting point Exarcheia, the stray-trees project addresses issues related to wider processes of socio-spatial changes, cultural displacement and social disruption due to tourism gentrification, urban change and neighborhood transformation. Within this context the stray-trees project functions as an intermedia and inter-artistic call for guerrilla gardening, appropriation of spaces, sharing of know-how, and reflection on the subjects of land rights and public space.
The stray-trees project includes different hardware and software, as well as a variety of actions that develop in a non-linear and often spontaneous way; an impromptu seed balls distributor, a blog with gardening information, a guerrilla gardening networking channel and other organized and improvised individual and public happenings.
