‘Tree’ by Myoung Ho Lee,
an art installation at the Allen Lambert Galleria, Brookfield Place,
part of CONTACT Photography Festival,
Six large banners (12.5 x 10 ft) are hung from the ceiling such that they look like they’re standing upright.
Each banner has a picture of a lone tree taken with a white canvas backdrop.
According to the description of the installation, Lee “transforms the common tree into a highly theatrical and mysterious entity”.
I’m going to disagree. It’s an interesting visual effect having the large banners arranged as they are but I see the trees as static, captive entities. Trees as museum pieces. That’s my two cents worth.
Like the symmetry in the last shot.
Thanks!
Hmm. I’ll agree with the artist that the result is highly theatrical, but agree with you that it is static… Well worth looking at, though, so thanks for sharing the experience.
