A dying oak tree in TICKON has become a favorite work of many adults and children.
The tree, which is constantly pouring more and more into the swamp, Jørn Rønnau transformed into a unicorn's spirally twisted horns, so that the audience can be in doubt whether the unicorn is rising or sinking?
Rønnau's work consisted of him building a scaffold around the tree, after which he began shaping the horn from above.
A horn that sticks up is probably mostly regarded as phallic, but Jørn Rønnau himself believes that the unicorn horn will always connect more and more to the feminine.
