Description: 

This installation was inspired by the forestry vocation of the village, as well as the secular tradition of planting a tree decorated with ribbons in front of the door of a person we wish to honour or just to celebrate. In this case, the celebration is associated with the pleasure of reading and it is the column that is covered with braided paper strips that evoke both a book's spine and lined paper. Texts by four regional authors are printed on these strips. The colour of the letters are bright as a feast day and are a reflection of the seasonal cycle.
