The Blue Trees, 2011 Vancouver Biennale, Canada

The Blue Trees is a performance and installation artwork by the artist Konstantin Dimopoulos that uses a colour transformation to provoke discussion about global deforestation.[1] The trunk and branches of live trees are coloured blue using a biologically safe natural pigment in water.[2] It was first created in pilot form in Melbourne in 2005 and launched in March 2011 at the Vancouver Biennale, Canada.[3] In 2015 ist was installed in Kuenzelsau at Ziehl-Abegg, in 2017 in Downtown Denver,[2] and in 2018 the Currier Museum of Art commissioned a Manchester, New Hampshire installation of The Blue Trees that became the 24th installation of the artwork.[4]
