Giant trees, roots, butterflies—Rachel Marks’ universe is nature reproduced in recycled paper. Using books, sheet music, and handwritten notes, she creates works that convey the importance of community. Until September 8th, her latest work, Symfolia, takes over the hall of the Cité de la musique. 

Built with the contribution of 10,000 children over a period of twenty months, Symfolia is designed in accordance with the artistic and educational project of the Philharmonie in Paris. © Philharmonie de Paris.

This gigantic tree, 15 meters tall with branches reaching 80 meters long, is visible until September 8th in the hall of the Cité de la musique in Paris. It was created with the help of 10,000 children, many of whom are part of the association Inspired by KM, sponsored by Kylian M’bappé. The installation is labeled as part of the Cultural Olympiad.
