arreter:

This summer artists Joakim Kaminsky and Maria Poll went deep inside the forests of Medelpad in northern Sweden to create this uncanny installation entitled Clear Cut using a mirror-coated fabric.

However eternal it may seem this is not a natural forest. Like 90% of the forests in Sweden it is used for forestry consequently being continuously grown and chopped down in a 60 years life cycle. Joakim and Maria wanted to connect these trees to time. They wanted the installation to visualize a memory of earlier generations of pine trees that had stood here and forecast the clear cut that willsoon replace them. Perhaps the mirrors could absorb the light, colors and smells of this place and save them for the future? It really looks almost as if forest has been severed in half, the treetops hovering above the bottoms. See more of the installation here.
