The forest is a fascinating space; one can feel attracted by its grandeur, or scared by its depth and darkness.
This space of immensity echoes our childhood memories, through fairy-tale or play.
Walking to the forest of my childhood, after many years, I remembered when we used to build a hut, and slowly the light would disappear, and darkness would surround us.
The excitement of being inside this small shelter, protected by large trees, overturned our fears, and instead we felt protected.

I don't know if the internet images dose this project justice some of the images are a little to dark to see what's going on but is this the hole idea of the project. I love the size of the images that a important we see in elongated rectangles In two dimensions, it's an oval. In three dimensions, it's an oblate cone. We have an almost 180 degree field of view horizontally, but only about 90 degrees vertically. the images kind of reflect this human vision. the lighting is important to me it almost looks dreamy  its an angle I would like to try. the liminal space can almost be dream like with in humans that is. its has this dark quality about it almost like it is not happening.  but theses are animals not humans and we do treat animals differently  to humans. but its something I will try out.
