The installation consists of 183 second-hand artificial Christmas trees, partially supported by a metal frame structure (aluminium hollow profiles).
An audio track recorded in the woods is played by an audio speakers system.
The installation continues to grow in size thanks to the addition of new trees (presented for the first time in Ljubljana in April 2010, when the number of trees collected was 98).
