This is a work by Sander Rood from 2004. In this photographic screenprint the artist portrays himself standing in place of a freshly cut tree, wearing a military helmet with branches welded into it. The image is a powerful call for awareness around pollution and the destruction of nature. "Plaatsvervangende schaamte" (vicarious shame) was the original title.
