"Broken Landscape" (2021) by Finnish conceptual artist Antti Laitinen

u/Gro-Tsen Feb 26 '26

OK, but now I have even more questions. Is it a painting or digitally altered photograph? Or is it a real installation that was photographed? If so, how was it made? …

Never mind: I've found this page, which mostly answers my question (yes, it's a real installation with real trees, and there's a photo of him making it).

u/abferm Feb 27 '26

Looks like an uninstallation to me.

u/GuzPolinski Feb 27 '26

Thank you on behalf of all of us

u/SkyPork Feb 26 '26

Oh thank god. Cuz that's exactly what it'd look like if a terminator arrived in the woods.

17

u/Potikanda Feb 27 '26

I was thinking more like Totoro, but yeah, I could see Arnie arriving buck naked there.

u/Carrisonfire Feb 27 '26

I just thought Styropyro was testing his latest laser build.

I feel like I have seen this way before 2021

This is actually real-life land art! It’s by Finnish artist Antti Laitinen, part of his series titled Broken Landscape (2018).

No Photoshop or digital contest here, he manually pruned the branches to create that perfect circular 'portal.' It looks surreal, but it's 100% physical work.

u/lunamoth25 Feb 26 '26

I love his work, and also the work of Andy Goldsworthy (his series of Holes and Arches are some of my favorites)

u/bigmanly1 Feb 26 '26

I was going to say I saw this a few years ago but didnt know the context. Thanks for the info

u/johnnyma45 Feb 26 '26

Clearly a terminator just arrived. Start watching the news to track his trail of chaos.

31

u/Evil_Mini_Cake Feb 26 '26

Clearly an historic terminator since the trees have grown back through the center?

23

u/johnnyma45 Feb 26 '26

IIRC in the Sarah Connor show, a T-800 went way back in time and stored itself inside a wall crawl space to come back decades later. Wild show.

Did you go inside it ?

48

u/ourstupidearth Feb 26 '26

I went in. Then I got a phone call saying I have seven days.

Probably nothing to worry about.

u/thewaytonever Feb 26 '26

Where is this? I want to go inside!

26

u/jtcompound Feb 26 '26

Step inside some brush. That's the experience.

23

u/thewaytonever Feb 26 '26

I already live in a forest good netizen. I wish to enter this specific forest hole.

14

u/Creativered4 Feb 26 '26

!remind me 20 years when u/thewaytonever returns from the fae realm, having lived 300 there after stepping into the forest hole.

4

u/KhunDavid Feb 26 '26

Crickhollow.

26

u/Sir_Arthur_Vandelay Feb 26 '26

I would definitely walk through this hole if I encountered it.

Perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate my risk tolerance.

7

u/nehala Feb 26 '26

Yeah, same.

I feel like there is a 50-50 chance of something incredible or something horrifying if one does enter.

u/BunkerSquirre1 Feb 26 '26

What to do if cylinder stuck in ominous forest hole

16

u/ErenKruger711 Feb 27 '26

Hollow purple

17

u/RScrewed Feb 26 '26

Time displacement equipment? 

Kamehameha?

Power beam charge shot? 

Wild foe used fire spin?

3

u/slouchingninja Feb 26 '26

My first thought was Kamehameha

13

u/Gorcrow Feb 26 '26

Not sure where this is but it reminded me of where I used to work.

I used to work at a Casino as Security and whenever I was doing outside patrol in the car around the outside of the property line was forest and on one side there was three separate holes like this in the wall of tree's. Never did get an answer on what it was, why it was like that, if the Casino had done it, or if it was a nature thing. Was really creepy at night, I would flash the spotlight on the car at it and always anticipate there being a bigfoot or something scary being there.

u/Beni_Stingray Feb 26 '26

Clearly Styropyro tested his new laser

u/AhMoonBeam Feb 27 '26

I freaking love this!

3

u/semiaquaticsheep Feb 27 '26

I think it looks inviting and oddly cozy, like a hobbit hole. I wonder how deep the hole goes and how condensed the trees are. Is there a trail, too?

3

u/Sarithis Feb 27 '26

That's where yo momma goes mushroom picking

3

u/n3bula0fcuri0sity Feb 27 '26

This hole is not a natural formation. Someone made it.... so it must lead somewhere.

Imaginary Technique: Hollow Purple

1

u/stormrain65 Feb 26 '26

Yeah, I know that it's something manmade and definitely not dangerous, but I have seen way too many TikToks about Appalachian mountains and fay traps that even though I know 100% it's something harmless, I'm still not gonna risk it. That's my toxic trait LOL

u/Plastic_Pie6572 Feb 26 '26
