Cadair, Oak 2010

 Mr. Olsen says these are:

"An ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest."

In these real photos, by wrapping white fabric around tree trunks and
taking a photo from a specific spot, Zander Olsen shifts our
perspective. In the photo above, it took me a second to actually see the
hills in the distance.

For me, the photo above seems to flatten and become two distinct images, as if Mr. Olsen placed two separate images together.

Untitled (Cader) 2008

Here, the tree wrapping is more obvious. But stare a while longer, and see what happens.
