Mysterious Woodland Waves Hidden In Deep Hamburg Forests | Alternative Fruit

Jörg Gläscher

Locked up with no-where to go? Our daily walking has been a much needed respite during the pandemic. So we can't spend money at fancy places? There's so much more on offer. If you're lucky enough to live near a forest, a world of expression and adventure can be uncovered. A little bit of excitement and a dash of imagination can make any natural environment a magical place. Perhaps we look to the artists of the world to help make this a reality.


Hamburg's Jörg Gläscher is a keen photographer and artist. Combining his talents with hand-made natural sculpture and assemblage, Jörg Gläscher presents a series of images inspired by waves. As long as his creations are left alone, visitors will no-doubt find them and maybe take their own pictures. During the pandemic, the artist created a photo-journal titled C19,1-20. These woodland waves are a popular element of this wider work.


Called The Second Wave, after the dramatic return of infection rates since the initial closing of business, these stick assemblages are laid out in flowing lines that build and curve like waves on the ocean. Across the woodland glades of Hamburg, during the winter of 20/21, Jörg created nine waves made of dead-wood. These monuments of timber are intended to express to massive power of nature.
