Rural and remote locations with profuse green spaces, which work as refuges in a highly populated city like London are hosting some magical artistic installations.

Spontaneous City In The Tree Of Heaven is one of these sculptural installations commissioned by Up Projects and created by London based artistic duo Jo Joelson and Bruce Gilchrist, known as London Fieldworks.

Several Hundred bespoke bird boxes are carefully placed on two Ailanthus Altissima trees, also known as the tree of heaven and “aim to provide both a sculptural work to be enjoyed by the public and an architecture that would be accessible to the birds,” the artists explain.

Spanning from Duncan Terrace Gardens in the East side of London to Cremorne Gardens in the west, Spontaneous City expanded on themes from an earlier London Fieldworks project “Super Kingdom” a series of animal show homes modeled on the imperious architecture of despots’ palaces (Mussolini, Stalin and CeauÅŸescu).
