Old Tjikko: a 9.550 years old tree standing alone in the Swedish tundra. Surtsey: an island born only 63 years ago on the coast of Iceland. Lotus Gomeritus: the last and only known specimen of a plant species discovered in the Canary Islands. Through these three main subjects of observation, and many other images collected through a process that took over ten years, photographer Aleix Plademunt and filmmaker Carlos Marques-Marcet set up a meditation on how we construct our world through looking and the complex relationship between images and the spoken language.
