Hotels-live.com/annuaire - #Dispatchfrom @katiempaterson: 10,000 tree samples spanning millions of years form 'modernist grotto' in Bristol. On the grounds of the historic Royal Fort Gardens in Bristol, artist Katie Paterson and architects Zeller & Moye have realized a participatory, public artwork that relays stories of the planet’s history and evolution. Hollow is a meditative space made up of over 10,000 unique tree species whose narratives span millions of years — from petrified wood fossils from the earliest forests that emerged 390 million years ago, to emergent categories of arboreal life. The douglas fir posts that form the façade reflect the varying heights of trees and a forest canopy. Once inside the warm ‘miniature forest’, visitors experience a monumental collection of tree specimens surrounding them, sourced and gathered over the past three years from across the globe. Above, light filters through apertures in the ceiling, mimicking the way sunlight radiates through a forest. 🌳 #TravelerInBristol by cntraveler https://www.instagram.com/p/BFoouvwJcKa/ #Traveler #Travel
