Artist Details

Javier Riera

Spanish artist Javier Riera creates geometric patterns found in nature and projects them onto site specific trees. By interrupting an otherwise natural scene, these geometric forms seek to reveal the hidden mathematical codes and patterns of nature. In doing so, he seeks to deepen our connection to the natural world. His work has been exhibited widely across key museums in Spain, including the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, as well as in Paris, China, Italy and the UK.

Event Details

See trees (and yourself) in a new way as you gaze at a mesmerising display of nature’s hidden geometry.

Throughout history, we’ve always had a special bond with trees. They provide shelter, a meeting place and oxygen. They clean our air and have a calming effect on our nervous system.

Encounters Before the Tree explores this connection in a geometric light display that asks us to see beyond the canopy.

Watch as a hypnotic projection, inspired by nature’s hidden mathematical codes, slowly moves across a series of eucalyptus trees. The effect of transforming something natural into something strange and unknown is disconcerting and reminds us of nature’s hidden beauty and the patterns that exist within all living things.
