When Trees Were Tall is a piece by the Flirty Horse Art Collective—a fantasy about how the people of the future might look back at us, their distant past.

The year is 14,024. Humanity’s descendants live on other planets and know only fragments about life on Earth in the 21st century. To honor this mythologized, legendary cradle of civilization, they make music, sing, recite texts, and perform dances.

What will remain of us after millennia?

What will represent us in eternity?
