Dead Wood Alive in the exhibition STAD = NATUUR, Lochal Tilburg 2022
Research
Dead Wood Alive investigates the value of dead wood. The past years there is a raised awareness about the bad influence of monocultures on biodiversity and the impact of climate change on a landscape that consists out of a limited amount of species. We see forests as a source of life, but still a lot of woods are having a hard time to thrive.
Fallen branches and trunks are gathered from the forest. The wood is dead, dried but also vividly alive. A lot of the biodiversity we can not see at first sight, but in the holes and cavities all kinds of insects and fungi live.
