A playful outdoor educational exhibit in the Arboretum collection of the Montreal Botanical Garden. It combines a family of twenty-three informational plaques with eight large creature-like modules that are scattered around the various collections of tree species of the arboretum. These curious and enigmatic modules are like a bridge between the human body and the living processes that occur in trees: they playfully engage the human visitor to strike a pose or perform an action that is reminiscent of a particular biological function of the tree.
