American Heritage, started january 2011 - ongoing
Portraits of deceased trees in the North-American part of the Tervuren Arboretum. This 'zoo for trees' near Brussels, Belgium, is a miniature version of an American national park, and was founded around 1910, during the rise of the US as a world leader.
The forest is man-made and artificial. Its lustre seems natural, but it needs constant care. When the trees die, like whales thrown on the beach, they are cosmetically removed by forest workers.
