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. The fact is that installation companies have long learned to disguise cell towers for trees and architectural structures. The photographer collects them. Robert Voit in his photo project New Trees … Agree that not everyone wants to contemplate a cell tower through the window. The pleasure is rather dubious, and human rumor has come up with plenty of horror stories: diseases, secret listening to conversations, radiation, and a host of other dangers lurk in this tall pillar outside the window. Either it's a matter of admiring a picturesque landscape from the window, or at least a beautiful tree, building, sculpture. This is how the idea came about to disguise cell towers under the named objects.
The first creative tower was installed in the US state of Arizona more than 20 years ago. Since the landscape is typical for those places - deserts and cacti, the installation company "turned" the industrial structure into a giant cactus. If you don’t know, you won’t guess, because only the impressive size of the plant distinguishes it from many others in this area. But Robert Voight at one time was interested in this very moment. And having learned what secret is hidden behind the gigantic size of the cactus, he purposefully began to look for other camouflaged towers, traveling the world and carefully looking around.
Depending on the landscape and climate, cell towers are transformed into palms and sequoias, pines and cedars. And sometimes they become not plants, but flagpoles, bell towers, crosses, and even elements of other architectural structures, since it is necessary that this structure looks natural and harmonizes with other objects around it. Skilfully camouflaged towers can be seen in the United States, Portugal, Spain, Britain, France and Korea. Or in the New Trees photo project on Robert Voight's website.

Pool-non-pool. Fake Swimming Pool art project by Leandro Erlich
Look into the pool and see people in it walking freely along the bottom, laughing, talking, breathing, jumping and even dancing - something from the realm of fantasy. But those who had a chance to visit the city of Kanazawa and visit The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art will disagree with you, because they were able not only to see this spectacle with their own eyes, but also to become its direct participants, jumping, running and laughing enough at the bottom of the pool, under the water column.
