Trees are witnesses, land is an archive, and nature becomes a storyteller in Evergreen, a three-channel video installation by American artist Dawoud Bey. Commissioned in 2021 by the New Orleans Triennale, Evergreen relates to the artist’s In This Here Place, a photographic series featuring landscapes and built structures from five different plantations in Louisiana along the Mississippi River. As part of one of his three historical projects, this body of work grapples with the inexpressible horror of slavery by giving visual form to the places in which such untold stories hauntingly reside.
