Erwan Bouroullec Replanted fir, 2022, limited edition

In the area where I shot, one of the greatest fears is when woodsmen erase areas of planted forest. But what I see is one more attempt to create grids, alignment, symmetry. After the woodsmen have finished, you get a piece of Robert Smithson for free: the entropy realised by horsepower encased within machinery that’s too efficient.
It was just at the bottom of a hill, on a curve, and the cut revealed the verticality of the firs behind.
Quite reassuringly, I could align, and count. Saved from the wild.

About Bouroullec Brothers
Blurring the boundaries between art and coding, Erwan Bouroullec (Quimper, 1976) uses computer algorithms, rules, determinacy and coincidence to create unique digital drawings and designs.

“Computer coding and design belong to the same branch of a tree, and the magic of the computer is that parameters can float and numbers can be immense.” – Erwan Bouroullec

The artist and designer is one half of the renowned Bouroullec brothers, who set-up their Paris design studio in 1999.
Described by The New York Times as “representing poetic practicality”, the brothers’ creations span multiple fields of expression: bridging art and design, passing through craftsmanship, research and architecture.
Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec have co-created iconic designs for the likes of Vitra, Hay, Flos, Cassina, Ligne Roset, Magis, Mutina, Established & Sons and Kvadrat.
Their designs are held in some of the world’s most coveted permanent collections, exhibitions have been devoted to their work, and monographs have been published, cataloguing some of their outstanding creations.
In recent years, the duo have expanded their repertoire into the public realm, bringing modern relevance to historic sites such as Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection (Paris, 2021) and the Champs-Elysées fountains (Paris, 2019).
Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec’s collaboration is an ongoing dialogue, nourished by distinct personalities, a shared notion of diligence and, increasingly, their individual artistic experimentation.
