Synopsis
We thought the conflict of the neighborhood existed in the realm of construction, rent increases and population explosion, but there is another offensive underway...the mute struggle of the linden, ash, gingko and plane tree. This project documents a silent war, the War of the Trees. Here we see the trees' stoic refusal to submit to the dominating infrastructure-aggressive constriction and unremitting subjugation by the sidewalks, fences, buildings and decorative borders in this arboreal battle-zone.
