2000, Ljubljana, Equrna Gallery. A sculptural installation and action (casting palms in wax and giving away seeds). The installation and action also included the lecture "Ethics and Aesthetics" and a lecture by the architect Janko Rožič, "On Space".

At Equrna I presented the sculptures "Seed Bearers", made from discarded gravestones I had obtained from stonemasons. Even though these gravestones had been retrieved from refuse, they still carried the memory of the dead with them, and so I decided to preserve all the carving debris and thereby keep these gravestones whole, at least on a symbolic level. The carving remains are kept in the "plinth".

Alongside the "Seed Bearers", Equrna also showed "Mangers", holding the seeds of various trees from different parts of the world — trees that were considered sacred in the traditional cultures of those regions. Two projectors stood at the entrance to the gallery: at the left entrance, a continuous projection of various depictions of sacred trees; on the other side, a projection of pictures of trees from a kindergarten where I had held an occasional workshop.
