City of Trees by Matthew Rosier is now open, and runs from 5–11pm November 4–10 2021 outside St Mary Aldermary Church in the City of London, England.

”The project seeks to raise awareness of the symbiotic relationship that has always existed between humans and forests in England. Its opening will coincide with COP26 in Glasgow in order to highlight the value of productive, truly sustainable and biodiverse forestry in addressing climate change and restoring our woodland habitat.”

The work features life-size video portraits of Oak, Beech and Hornbeam pollards from Epping Forest projected into the heart of the City, accompanied by spatial soundscapes that I have composed alongside musicians NYX (https://nyx-edc.com/) and Laura Misch (https://lauramisch.bandcamp.com/).
A commission from the City of London Corporation. Further information including a visitor guide here.

The weekend of the Autumn Equinox (25-26 September 2021) will see the opening of a forthcoming film-sound installation, Pontefract Giants, created with Matthew Rosier and Daisy Lafarge at Pontefract Castle, Pontefract, West Yorkshire:

Pontefract Giants will transform the castle into an immersive landscape where the ancestors of past residents of Pontefract will greet you and transport you on an expansive and poetic journey through time from the first inhabitants of the area some 300,000 years ago.
Featuring projections of current residents representing the towns ancestors, an immersive soundscape and musical score, this light and sound show will allow you to appreciate the site and history of our town like never before.
