In To Burn, Forest, Fire, artist Katie Paterson invites us to memorialize the first and last forests through a contemplative incense burning. The scents are inspired by the primordial Cairo Forest of the Hudson Valley and the current composition of the Amazon Forest. The scents feature essential organic and mineral traces that convey vibrant, unique ecosystems. During the performance, you are invited to view visual maps of each incense’s ingredients and quietly consider the forest.

To Burn, Forest, Fire is currently on view in The Sixth Extinction section of Into the Time Horizon. This performance will be hosted monthly during HandsON! Second Saturday, through September.
