From fire you will be born
Emotionally connect with the destruction and natural regeneration of the forest.
"The ability of the burned-down forest to rise from its ashes spoke to me of hope and the unfailing power of life."
Living and experiencing the rebirth of a forest
A tree-shaped walk through a forest that changes. A story that begins at the roots and ends in the treetops.
The space in zenithal view represents the structure of a tree with its roots, trunk and top.
On the one hand, an expositive plant with this shape is proposed because the tree is the essential figure of the forest and symbolically represents regeneration, fertility
, continuity, life… The proposal seeks permeability and adaptability.
Architecture based on natural and ecological elements is advocated. Constructive solutions adaptable to macro spaces and also for more limited rooms are contemplated.
Putting the spectator on stage through the smoke to feel lost and disoriented. Change of temperature, pressure and sounds.
Interactive area with fire. Water vapor simulating fire. Sense of desolation, sadness, rage. Walking among the flames. Smell of burning wood. High temperature.
Amidst the darkness we begin to see the light See proposal Firefly Room
Great pure, clean and virgin space. As if it were a blank piece of paper, it is the moment to write and transmit our message of hope to create a new life and continue with the natural cycle. View proposed Message Room
Space of the Royal Forest created thanks to the help, effort and hope. Change of olfactory senses such as the smell of grass, pine or plants in these phases of flowering. The subtlety allows the viewer to use his imagination and deduction to understand the message. By making it his own, he feels more involved, gives rise to dialogue and thus to its dissemination.The exhibition route is sequential, starting at the root, continuing at the trunk and ending at the top.
In each of these areas the visitor will experience sensorially the beginning of the fire, the fire, the devastated landscape, the rebirth and the new forest.

2. A vertical walk through a forest that changes. A story that begins at the roots and ends in the treetops.
Exhibit objective
Create an experience to reflect on the natural environment from an artistic, emotional and multisensory approach.
The exhibition aims to offer a look at the problem of forest fires that is attractive to both the specialized public and the general public.
We will talk about a need for change and action based on the idea of a resilient forest recovering from a fire. Thus we rely on a narrative that combines art, data and stories, which are of general interest, getting the messages across in the most effective way. powerful and accessible to all audiences. In this way We will allow even those who do not have personal fire-related experience to gain an insight into this very relevanttopic.
0 - Introduction
We enter. We see the smoke before the fire.
We started the trip looking at the smoke.
On Earth, something is always burning. Wildfires can be started by lightning or accidentally set by people. We also use controlled fires to manage cropland and pasture and to clear natural vegetation for agricultural production. Fire is part of the history of the planet and our history as a species.
Fires can generate large amounts of smoke pollution, release greenhouse gases and unintentionally degrade ecosystems.
1 - The fire
A place to live the stories that awaken the flames.
We lived through the fire.
The scientific definition of fire is that it is not a substance, but a reaction that synthesizes its surroundings. We start conceptually from this definition to characterize fire as a lively, powerful and often violent reaction of nature.
This first room will explain what a fire is, what types of fire exist and what threat they pose.
All this content will be accompanied by a parallel plot, very human and close to the public that will collect real witnesses and talk about their experiences around fire, forests and fires.
2 - Devastation
An environment to understand what a fire involves.
We entered the burned forest.
Fires drastically modify ecosystems at the local and regional levels. global. This room invites visitors to participate in a tour where they will combine experience and data to connect with the reality of devastation and the devastation and the consequences that fires leave in their wake.
The first level (outside) composed of Regina Saura’ s large format paintings of burned tree roots in an atmosphere of absolute silence , allows the public to experience the devastation on a sensory level.
On a second level (inside), we are invited to learn information and to reflect actively, based on static data visualizations and interaction, using in both cases materials that speak of destruction, such as ash or burnt wood.
The static visualizations aim to reinforce the global nature of the problem of forest fires and its consequences: loss of hectares of forest, loss of biodiversity, changes in the climate and the generation of greenhouse gases, among others. For its interaction seeks to connect the visitor with the issue in a more intimate way, using questions such as “what is the in a more intimate way, resorting to questions such as, for example, “what would you take from your house if a fire threatened to burn it down? would you take away from your house if a fire threatened to burn it down?
3 - Renaissance
A room where you can listen to the awakening of nature.
We see the first shoots among the ash.
A few days after a fire we begin to see the reappearance of a diversity of living beings. In this room the spectator witnesses the awakening of the forest through different elements to empathize with the resilience of nature.
The focus will be on the different survival mechanisms of nature. We will talk about the different living organisms (insects, animals, the first shoots, among others) that return to the forest after a fire, showing the regenerating forest as an ecosystem in which hundreds and thousands of living beings, even microscopic ones, coexist.
On the other hand, we will generate a narrative that compares our human life with the life of forests to raise awareness about the difference in speed between the life cycle of nature and that of human beings.
4 - The forest
An environment where you can choose the path of the forest.
We see, for the first time, a forest with trees.
We see, for the first time, a forest with trees. The last two rooms immerse the viewer in a lush and recovered forest, and proposes a journey to reflect on what has to happen for a forest to recover and how our decisions directly affect the natural chain in which we all participate. The objective is to understand the impact and consequences of actions that are in our hands.
Some of the topics to be discussed in this room:
– The importance of forest health
– The impact of citizen collaboration in the prevention of
forest fires
– Information on good practices on how to act after
a forest fire to help nature, always in agreement with the authorities
.
5 - The forest
The moment to leave a mark and reflect.
A space for reflection
We will finish the exhibition immersed in the treetops, composed of leaves painted by Regina Saura, proposing an experience of reflection and community. experience of reflection and community.
While the public sees the final form of the recovered forest from a zenithal point of view, which seeks to generate a sense of fullness, calm and abundance, they are invited to contribute their leaf with a message, while they can explore the leaves written by others.
This generates a forest of leaves that collects all the messages from visitors to the exhibition.
