Fort a la Corne Winter 2023

The Fort a la Corne forest area was burned in the English Fire (all provincial forest fires are given a name) in May of 2020. Canvases were placed in the burnt forest October 17, 2022 and collected on May 3, 2023. The raw canvas was stretched over a birch panel and burnt logs were placed on the canvas in a random arrangement or in some design. Half of the canvases had a shelter (plywood on legs) placed overtop the canvas to exclude the natural elements. Trailcams were set up to take a photo every hour of the installation for the approximately 5 month period that the canvases were laying on the burnt forest floor.  Images and short videos of the installation are shown below.

​Usually around 5000 images were collected from the trailcams and then put into a movie format - videos were compressed into a longer and shorter version and are presented here. In the upper left corner you can see the date and time and upper right the air temperature.
