The proposition is to give something back to the city of Oslo, a complimentary installation, regardless of placement and context, season and weather, night and day. The towers are clad in living plants, growing within a framework of steel louvers.
The towers change character with the seasons, from lush green in the spring and summer to reds and yellows in the autumn and a pared back, black and white aesthetic in the winter. At night, the towers illuminate from within, hinting of the metaphysical properties of the city’s infrastructure.
