“The Tree hugging is over” is an ongoing series which, so far, explored various mountainous regions of western Austria & eastern Switzerland.
The Tree-Markers indicate a Land Owner’s property and trees thereof, by using various colours & signage. These trees are meant to be cut down for wood & environmental restoration-, as well as commercial purposes.
Markers and colours used are meant to be seen! The more intense & contrary a colour is, the greater the effect of the contrast to the corresponding backgrounds.
The images exhibited are part of a larger group of images of different colour groups. They have been photographed with ordinary negative film-material, creating a beautiful grain & colours.
is this some kind of a blog on trees?
Hey there Greg,
not necessarily – it’s just a blog on some of my works, including this series, whereof i try to focus on the balance of colors vs. contrary colors, whilst at the same time combing the graphical and visual impact along with the given backgrounds to be found in nature.
Nice decision to save trees
Agreed 🙂 Even though these where cut down, in order to save other trees..
