Territorializing the Future
Oaks were planted in 1831 on Visingsö in Lake Vättern, Sweden. They were intended to be used for shipbuilding. However, 144 years later, when the trees were ready for harvesting, ships were built of metal not wood and the trees were no longer needed for their original purpose. In this video, Christina Fredengren, reflects on these oak trees and their story as symbolic of the extremely long time between cause and effect of our actions as well as the need for us to imagine different types of futures and to expect the unexpected.
