The forest beyond the trees
“The Forest Beyond the Trees” is an exhibition about Sweden’s last remaining old-growth forests and some of the species that live there. A story about places where time creates the conditions for a rich abundance of life. Places where trees live for hundreds of years and then stand dead for just as long, where mosses blanket the ground beneath a soft green quilt, and where the forest belongs to owls and capercaillies.
