The Spanish artist duo Albarrán Cabrera maintains a special relationship with nature. Whether a source of inspiration, a photographic subject, or an almost surreal setting, it is always present in their images in one way or another. A common thread in their work, trees are often glimpsed: the shadow of a branch, the outline of foliage that has become abstract, or a twisted silhouette in the center of the frame. The images alternate between a palette of vivid colors, bordering on abstraction, and more monochrome tones, evoking a certain melancholy, plunging us into timeless landscapes. The result evokes a dreamlike, almost surreal world, typical of the Spanish duo.

However, the tree is not the only subject of this book. The photographers explore more broadly the relationship between man and nature by also associating literature, particularly the writings of the German novelist, poet, and painter Hermann Hesse, to give shape to their thinking. A text by the author and agronomist, Yves Darricau, on the historical complicity of man with trees throughout the ages, today endangered, completes this book celebrating their presence in our world.
