{"id":56,"count":1,"description":"A three-dimensional branch of a birch tree floats inside a greenhouse. The both critical and poetic work investigates the reciprocal reference of similarity, diversity and identity. The branch is a filigree imitation of a real birch branch, a copied fragment of a birch, consisting of a birch wood-plastic composite. Its visual, haptic and olfactory properties resemble the original material. The work raises questions about identity and originality, \u2013 what is real, what do we perceive, why do we perceive something?\r\n\r\nThe branch constructs a reality disconnected from its original environment, as a three-dimensional cutout of a tree that may no longer exist. As manipulation, correction, assertion, reproduction. Unlike its naturally grown model, the three-dimensional birch branch is not subject to any seasonal changes. It has a monumental size and yet is trapped in a glass house, cut off from its trunk, but held up as if it were still present.","link":"https:\/\/bindermartin.com\/en\/c\/portrait-of-a-birch-tree\/","name":"Portrait of a birch tree","slug":"portrait-of-a-birch-tree","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bindermartin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/56","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bindermartin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bindermartin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/bindermartin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=56"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
