This year again, TAAT was invited by Cotranspose to join the Greek Easter celebrations and take care of the warehouse field in the small village of Palli.

We baptised the project Pilli Pallis, the Portal of Palli, as a connecting place where locals can go to explore relationships between humans and nature. The field is growing into a forest garden, for which an encounter portal is being created using natural and found materials in collaboration with insects, animals and plants. More and more, Pilli Pallis is a testing ground for interventions that help us understand the field and what we want to grow there. As we don’t hold all the answers, we invited knowledgeable locals from the village and the forestry school to help us identify plants and to hear about the history and climate of the bioregion.

Inspired by local weaving traditions and last year’s plant explorations, we initiated building a giant loom and creating large-scale weaves from local hay, reed, and cotton. We see these works as “displaced vegetation,” left on the land to decompose, to seed, and to shelter.
