Laura Skehan Tecnica: Photo Anno: 2025 Dimensione: 75 x 50cm Descrizione: This photograph captures the fruit and leaves of the American Sycamore, a tree we often pass without noticing, yet one with layered histories. Taken in a former East German district of Berlin, the image reflects on how this North American native has come far from its original home. Chosen for urban landscapes across Europe due to its resilience against pollution and extreme temperatures, it has become a symbol of survival—a force in both ecological and political climates. Once marking fertile land and fresh water during the westward colonisation of North America, the tree now grows in cities as far-reaching as Berlin and Rome, quietly bearing witness to shifting territories, migrations, and the entangled legacies of empire.
