During his yearlong residency at the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome, Christoph Keller translocated a maritime pine tree, which had fallen down on the Via Tiburtina in Rome, right in front of the Campo Verano cemetery, to the Villa Massimo exhibition space. The process of its translocation was documented—through a series of seven photographic prints—and became part of its history as well.
