I first encountered the “Forest Breath” concept when reading David Haskell’s book “Songs of Trees”. He was discussing the Formosa Pine and I thought it a fascinating perception that “air is 400 millions years of forest breath”.
You might wonder how many times is it possible for an oxygen atom to be recycled after numerous binding and cleaving, before it gets ” too old” or if even there is such a thing as an atom getting old?
Nevertheless, these basic atoms pass in and out of different life forms as life evolved on earth. Where will the balance of this gas exchange lie as the globes forests continue to be decimated at break neck speed.

Open Call for your tree story on video
Memory Palace of Trees is socio-ecological art practice which invites your participation to tell a story (or give some kind of information) about trees. It is a social enquiry of how to live better with the planet and with people by sharing tree stories.
Memory Palace of Trees will continue throughout 2022. The submissions are video format. If you have a story you can tell in less than a minute, please find your favorite tree and video yourself on your phone telling the story. I can help with adding the English or Chinese subtitles. Please ensure the sound quality of your recording is clear as possible. If you have any questions about this. Also, If you are in Beijing I can meet up with you and assist in the filming.
Looking forward to hearing from you.I can be contacted directly on this platform.
