BE-COMING TREE: TIPPERARY (2024)
"Asking consent to a tree and the landscape determines if the more-than-human world is willing (or not) to accept your presence there. The received answer is to be respected."
During the self-led research period of the Artist in Residence program with Rita Marcalo (Instant Dissidence) at Cloughjordan Ecovillage in Ireland, Jatun enacted a Be-coming Tree iteration with on a birch tree of stunning beauty. The action was documented with film and digital photos by local photographer Ben Hutchinson and a short video.
Be-coming Tree: Tipperary was originally developed as part of a Performance and Ecological Practice Residency hosted by Instant Dissidence and supported by Culture Moves Europe, a project funded by the European Union and the Goethe-Institut.
