Trees die after being cut down. They are cut into many pieces of different sizes, used for different needs. Here comes the Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira collected some of these pieces and made a tree out of them, or rather, a tree-like installation with the name Tridimensional.
On the site Kulturologia. Ru we have already talked about an unusual installation on the streets of Shanghai, which is a tree created from old wooden chopsticks. A similar creative object was created by the Brazilian Enrique Oliveira, who called it Tridimensional.
Tridimensional is a strangely shaped tree trunk, bent and twisted, tied in knots. This installation was made from pieces of wood collected by Enrique Oliveira on the streets of Sao Paulo.
Oliveira's creativity, in general, lies in the fact that he creates paintings and sculptures from pieces of wood that he found in different places. The artist perceives each of these elements as a smear that can be applied to a picture. As a result, his works are flat and three-dimensional structures created from thin pieces of wood. Thus, in the work of Oliveira, sculpture, painting, architecture and philosophy are combined. The author himself believes that he gives new life to trees, revives them.
The Tridimensional installation is also constructed from wood waste, and it got its name Three-dimensional because of the contrast with the two-dimensional wood painting by Enrique Oliveira. It took Enrique Oliveira several tens of kilograms of wood waste to create this artificial tree (the Tridimensional installation is hollow inside).
Exhibited by Tridimensional at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington, the capital of the United States of America.

Smart "suits" for cell towers. Fake trees in the New Trees art project
Since today telephone communication is available in all corners of the globe, it is logical to assume that cell towers of mobile operators should be located almost everywhere. But all around there are only picturesque landscapes, without ugly metal structures visible on the horizon, distorting this beauty.
