Old Growth

This series celebrates the majesty and resilience of primeval wilderness unaltered by humans. It explores ancient forests in remote regions of the U.S., where ninety-five percent of old growth forests have been destroyed. Through images of individual trees and interdependent biosystems — such as, bristlecone pines, bald cypresses, eastern white pines, cedars, sequoias, and Pando — Old Growth evinces the promise of the future and foreshadows what we stand to lose through climate catastrophe.

Damn I really needed to look at photos of trees today. Thank you Mitch Epstein!

The event "Monumental Forest" offers the opportunity to discover monumental works of art in the forest. It is led by the Métropole Rouen Normandie (Rouen Normandy Metropolis) in collaboration with the National Forest Office (ONF). Through this unique journey, visitors are invited to perceive this remarkable natural environment with renewed appreciation. It beckons exploration through wooded expanses adorned with creations envisioned by sculptors, landscape artists, designers, and architects.

Olivier Thomas's “Cathédrale de vert” is my favorite.
