The five artists included in a forest and a tree, Yael Bartana, Phil Collins, Esra Ersen, Emily Jacir, and Sislej Xhafa, explore different ways of looking at self and other. Immigration, exile, and displacement are some of their themes. These artists all use video to suggest an alignment between particular and universal experiences.
