Climate change and the desire to make good all the harm done to the planet are among the world’s main global concerns.

An average EU citizen produces 12,000 kg of CO2 every year, an adult tree absorbs 22 kg of CO2 and one acre of vegetation can absorb 2,500 kg of CO2 in that period. At the current pace, every EU citizen would have to plant 4.8 acres of trees to compensate for their carbon footprint.

Lumina Foresta is an exhibition that explores the interstices between nature and the digital world or the ecological and the artificial. It hails from the cries of today’s environmental crises, evident as quantified data of carbon emissions in our urban areas, which also affect our natural habitats and evoke a sense of responsibility from the citizens who interact with the installation.
