The exhibit 'Trolls: Save the Humans' at Filoli Historic House and Garden features giant wooden trolls designed by Danish recycle-art activist Thomas Dambo. The trolls, made from recycled materials, convey messages of environmental conservation and creativity in seeing beauty in trash. Visitors can engage with the sculptures, which are strategically placed in the garden to encourage exploration and interaction. The aim is to foster connection among people while highlighting essential themes of recycling and nature appreciation, making it an educational and fun experience for families.
We're very excited here at Filoli to have the trolls here for the summer and fall. It's all about one thing: getting to know the playful giant trolls.
They're here to save the planet, recycle our trash, really protect nature and protect our earth.
Kamma Can is the 'treasure troll.' Where we would see trash, she sees art. The message with this troll is turning trash into treasure.
The artist behind the wooden sculptures is Thomas Dambo, a Danish recycle-art activist. He constructed each of his giant trolls to teach people to rediscover nature.
