Of The Oak explored
Of The Oak, is a celebration for the oak tree as a living monument of vital ecological relationships and species interdependence. It is an invitation to witness the oak as a keystone in the web of life, majestic and unassuming, stretching its branches skyward and its roots deep into the soil, embodying both quiet strength and boundless generosity.
Of The Oak is Marshmallow Laser Feast’s inquiry into the hidden world of oak trees. Commissioned by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and created in collaboration with ecologists, biologists, and researchers, the project reveals the oak not merely as a tree, but as a living nexus of connection and reciprocity.
Standing as a pillar of biodiversity, the oak shelters thousands of species within its embrace, from the smallest fungi to winged creatures nesting among its body. Each life form moves in a shared rhythm, a mutual flourishing sustained by the oak’s enduring presence.
Participants are invited to explore the rhythmic interplay of breath, connecting deeply with the oak’s ecosystem and its essential role in sustaining biodiversity.
