- Abstract
This paper analyses how the tree, mainly as a living being, is used in contemporary art. The tree is approached as object and subject, but also becomes a territory-space of experimentation and research. But beyond its plant and objectual character, the tree itself adopts a territorial sense as place. The diverse examples selected corroborate the use of the tree in contemporary art as a universal global icon of conservation and the environmental destruction of the planet.
