TREE CAMOUFLAGE
C-print Fuji Matt Crystal archive paper, © 2009 - 2015
ENGLISH
Cross-processed photographs of the “Tree Camouflage” series portray the deadly camouflage in nature that masks the artificial toxic mountains of waste in Campania landfills (Italy). The unhealthy inner fermentation escapes thanks to a strange pipe system.
The thin and sick trees suffer the same unfortunate fate imposed on people born and forced to live in these highly polluted places. The landscape is a dynamic complexity of natural and human processes. The natural orography of the territory is transformed. We live in the Anthropocene, the geologic era in which the environment is heavily influenced, both locally and globally, by the effects of human action altering natural equilibrium.
The films were intentionally cross-processed to generate desaturated colours and a dystopian atmosphere. The alterations - caused by the procedure using a chemical solution intended for a different type of film - want to recall the unnatural appearance of the photographed landscape.
