Camouflaged as a cactus or a palm, the radio mast adapts to its environment and pretends to be a natural part of the landscape. This feeling is only confirmed at a second glance: “Something is wrong here!” The radio trees share some attributes with their natural counterparts, but the revealing surfaces, scales or details are too jarring for real similarity. In his ‘New Trees’ work Robert Voit has photographically captured this type of decorative treatment of indices of our times, leaving us to our own astonishment.
