Documentation of an intervention in a public space, performed by the artist together with the team of Fotopub festival in Novo mesto. In his public actions, Danilo Milovanović often criticizes capitalist-consumer urban reality in a humorous manner. With the help of nature he creates smybolic resistence. Young trees were planted in front of all the adversiting signs on a given street, thus obstructing the view to the advertising. The title of the video combines two English words: Tree and Intruder. The Intreeder action represents the trees being forced in front of advertisements, and thus highlights the very intrusion of advertisements that have replaced trees and tree lanes on the streets. On one of the trees hangs a note: "Let me live, also in my name. Thank you, Ferdinand Seidel." A couple of passers-by read the note and we find out that Ferdinand Seidel was an environmentalist after whom the street is named.

The idea of intervention arises from the question of the discourse of time in a modern society. This has "shrunk" at the mental level and it seems that 24 hours a day is no longer enough to perform all the tasks required by the pace of modern life. As...
