Hambi is the name used by activists and locals to describe the ancient Hambach Forest in west Germany. Today only 10% of this 12.000 year old woodland is left, since the largest coal mine in Europe, Garzweiler, has been eating its way through the forest. Activists occupy the forest, creating communities among the trees, and protest the destruction of Hambi.

Recorded in the Hambach in October 2022, using specialised microphones, this video allow us to listen to the inner creaking and groaning of the trees and the treehouses as they sway in the wind.

Exhibited at Young Danish Contemporary Art at Kunsthal Vrå, DK, in 2024
