Forest funeral is an installation in an ancient woodland managed by Forestry and Land Scotland protesting their plans, or ‘preferred option’ to fell the majority of trees in the woodland. Shroud film is an in-progress documentation of the performance of the installation. Photographs document the rotting of the cotton ‘shrouds’ on the trees and the disintegration of the plastic ‘safety tapes’ placed by FLS.
