“It is the Present. Arboreal Ents tell us about the deal made aeons ago: the Equilibrium, predecessor of the Fall. “ResiliEnts” who resist and insistently remind us of our part of this agreement: there is a constant work to be done as the Human remains a potential
being to reach the state of Entelechy, the acting Energy.”

By using the urban network of the city of Braga and its trees as a starting pint, Enteléquia pretends to be a naturalist manifesto materialised into a multimedia exhibition. Therefore, Enteléquia intends to give its audience a place of memory and homage to the ancestral Equilibrium through the result of a visual and historic investigation of some of the oldest and important trees of Braga.
