Ghost Forest consists of 10 primary rainforest tree stumps which were brought to Europe from a commercially logged forest in Western Africa. The work is intended 鈥溾o highlight the alarming depletion of the world鈥檚 natural resources, and in particular the continued rate of deforestation, 鈥hich impacts upon climate, biodiversity and the livelihoods of indigenous people鈥, Palmer explains.
According to the artist, the trees in Ghost Forest 鈥 most of which fell naturally in storms 鈥撀爎epresent rainforest trees worldwide; the absence of their trunks is presented as a metaphor for the removal of the world鈥檚 lungs caused through the loss of our forests.
The tree stumps were exhibited as a 鈥済host forest鈥 in Trafalgar Square in London last November, and then in Copenhagen in December during the UN鈥檚 Climate Change Conference. In July this year Ghost Forest will be exhibited for a year on the lawn of Oxford University鈥檚 Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum. The exhibition will coincide with the Museum of Natural History鈥檚 150th anniversary this year, and the UN鈥檚 International Year of Biodiversity.
聽In 2011 it is the UN鈥檚 International Year of Forests.
Julia Morton-Lefevre commended the project for its raising of awareness on the plight and roles of the rainforests:
鈥淭he Ghost Forest is excellent in sensitising the public on the vulnerability of our environment. Even for those who have never been to a tropical forest, just seeing those tree ghosts touches hearts and minds and hopefully encourages positive action. We all need those forests to be strong and healthy, and the inspiration of this project should move us to think about the consequences of our lifestyles and our political actions.鈥
Ghost Forest is a carbon neutral project, offset by an environmental initiative through Climate Care.
