Sumario:This essay will comment on an urban intervention carried out by the artist Carmen Reátegui that had as its protagonist a tree cut down during a process of urban modernization in a district of Lima. I examine how the tree began to be seen in a different way as a result of a change (or transfiguration) that the artist produced in public space. This performance, far from observing the loss of the aura, restores it as a highly political operation.
