Platforms 2020: Public Works is a monthly series of temporary public art projects that presented from June 2020 until the end of December 2020.

These artworks were selected through an open call inviting Vancouver-based artists to share projects that they have been working on that respond to the circumstances of living during a pandemic and critical time of change.

The public art program was launched on transit shelters, billboards, and video screens throughout the city.

Dejan Radovanovic's video Talking Trees presented on the VanLive! screen at the corner of Granville and Robson Streets (November 2 to 29, 2020). This meditative piece is a digital animation of a miracle forest where trees can communicate with their visitors, helping them to create interpretations, speculations, and meanings. Placing the inner world above external reality this video reveals that there is no better place to contemplate ourselves than in the woods.
