Parque

Parque is an interactive installation with an ecological message where the growth of a forest is determined by the amount of attention it receives. By making upwards movements with their bodies, children can create new trees or grow existing ones. If a tree is left unattended for too long it will shrink and eventually disappear.

This installation was commissioned by the city of Almada to be part of a permanent exhibition at Parque da Paz, a beautiful park in Almada that now celebrates its 10th birthday.
