Australian artist Konstantin Dimopoulos’ Blue Trees installations are part of the Vancouver Biennale. The blue forests will be created in the City of Richmond, Port Moody, as well as West Vancouver, and the artist hopes that his work will be part of a larger international discussion with blue forests in cities worldwide. “Each year an area at least the size of Belgium of native forests is cleared from around the planet. So much a part of our daily lives, they are the lungs of the planet and attention must be paid.”

Apparently, the color used on the trees is biologically safe pigmented water. As an ephemeral artwork, the color will naturally degrade and the trees gradually revert to their natural state. More information here.  via Poppytalk
