To help us explore the possibilities available in site specific, using a list of suggestions, me and Rachel decided to create a forest in the city. Originally discussing the idea of buying toy tres we decided against this in favour of photographs. The use of photographs allowed us to combine the idea of media with the exercise. Allowing us to gain experience with one of the many possible forms of technology we will be using in our final piece.

A more literal version of a forest in the city

The start contrast between the peaceful images of nature against the cold concrete and non-stop action of the street was quite powerful especially when considering that without human interference the area would have been just that peaceful.

Placing the photo in front of a bookstore was also powerful. The idea that a forest was in front of a what basically is a store of destroyed trees was both saddening and intriguing. It served me a reminder that in the business of life people often fail to think about the rest of the world around them. Also the idea that the forest is being shown through technology demonstrates a stark contrast between the natural and the man made.
