The soul is in the breath

Duša se nalazi u dahu (The soul is in the breath) shows the oldest tree in Belgrade.

The last oak tree in the city center originates from the old forest, which used to grow in that region. Being 200 years old, it is a witness to the historical events and the cultural shift that took place in the relationship between people and trees.

Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is facing a big problem with air pollution in recent years. The quality of the air can be seen as an indicator of the socio-political condition in the local culture.

This video essay makes a connection between breathing and trees, and it takes us on a poetic journey through personal and cultural memory.
