The 9,600-year-old Old Tjikko tree stands in a deserted landscape on a mountainside in Dalarna, Sweden, and is considered the oldest tree in the world. By exposing the same image of this tree onto 97 different types of aged analogue light-sensitive photo papers – some dating back as far as the 1940s – visual artist Nicolai Howalt has created a photo book, where the unpredictability of the long-expired photographic papers has become an integral and dynamic part of each image.
