Angela Palmer: "Ghost forest Art Project" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Ghost Forest is an original and ambitious project by Angela Palmer that seeks to raise public awareness of the connections between deforestation and climate change. It involves taking a series of 10 rainforest tree stumps, most with their buttress roots still attached, from a regulated, commercially logged tropical rainforest in Ghana.
The tree stumps was presented as a “ghost forest” firstly in Trafalgar Square in London, and then in Copenhagen to coincide with the UN Cop15 Climate Change Conference.

Ghost Forest Art Installation - Trafalgar Square, London, U.K. 16-22 November 2009 and Ghost Forest Art Installation - Thorvaldsens Plads, Copenhagen, Denmark 7-18 December 2009
