City of Trees is an installation and video series dedicated to Epping Forest’s ancient relationship with humans and London. It consists of three lifesize video projections of ancient oak, beech and hornbeam trees in Epping, alongside an original soundscape and musical composition for each. The immersive outdoor projections take place at St Mary Aldermary Church from 4 - 10 November, where you can enjoy the experience while sitting on a bench created from a recently felled beech tree in Epping.
The project seeks to raise awareness of the symbiotic relationship that has always existed between humans and forests in England. Its opening coincides coincide with COP26 in Glasgow, highlighting the value of productive, truly sustainable and biodiverse forestry in addressing climate change and restoring our woodland habitat.
