Pequi Tree
Ai Weiwei (Beijing, 1957) is an artist, a thinker and an activist, whose artistic practice addresses pressing issues of our time.
In the Serralves Park we will see for the first time Pequi Tree, a 32-meter-high iron tree that stands witness to the disappearance of the harmonious co-existence between human beings and nature; moulded in Brazil, cast in China, and now installed in the Park, this work went from wood to metal and from mortal to eternal as a piece of evidence and a monument."
