Photographing trees in and around Berlin, where I reside, was an exercise to challenge the idea of personhood and our human-centric worldview. Importantly, this work does not intend to anthropomorphize trees by bestowing on them imaginary human-like attributes, nor it does not intend to connect to them spiritually. The perspective of treating trees or any other nonhuman being as person is certainly not novel and has been part of many indigenous cultures‘, described as animism. Animism has entered the Western domain of thought as “savage and childish” belief system and was disregarded accordingly for a long time. More recently, however, in the face of an urgent need for an alternative theory to understand the relationship of humans to nature, animism has been reinterpreted in the Western discourse as “a practice, a co-inspired form of active mutual relating that emerges from the unique, personal, and even intimate relationships that take place between persons (human and other-than-human) rather than a religious label, an ethic, or a worldview” (Amy Whitehead, 2014). Possibly due to the complicated history of animism, connecting to a tree in a social way could be seen as esoteric in our modern western societies. However, the prevalence of animism in other cultures suggests that so called techno-scientific societies have unlearned animism due to their decreased interaction with the natural environment. This work is an attempt to photographically examine the possibility of including nonhuman being into our social consciousness, thereby allowing us to re-imagine the way we connect to our environment in a more inclusive manner. The deliberate use of colour-shifted film allows a visual separation to interact with the subject in an unaccustomed way.
