The Urban Forest is a sound installation and performative work that situates the audience in a multi-sensory, experiential world, foregrounding and celebrating the diversity of tree species using data on every living tree in the Melbourne CBD. The durational work, played by musicians of Speak Percussion, aims to shift existing perspectives on Melbourne’s representation of life by creating new and meaningful interpretations of the nature that surrounds our city.

Composed by Ciaran Frame, recipient of the David Li Sound Gallery commission for 2021.
Performers: Eugene Ughetti, Kaylie Melville, Hamish Upton & Zela Papageorgiou

The Urban Forest is presented as part of the Tree Story exhibition at Monash University Museum of Art.
