Turtle Sighing Tree 1994



The tree emits a piercing scream, and one has only to stand near any of the funnels to hear a barely audible voice detailing the miseries of contemporary life. At regular intervals, these monologues are abruptly interrupted by a resounding crash, as the turtle-shaped platform shifts its weight and the tree tilts precariously to one side.
