Michael Loos, Uncut, pigmented ink photographic print on Hahnemühle paper, 22x22 cm (26x26 cm with frame), 2012

This photograph was taken in Milan, at the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens.

The shot represents a tree whose trunk expands powerfully in the scene. The title refers to the massive size of the subject, which is uncut but takes on its natural shape without any human intervention. The artist has made another print called Uncut, then cut that shows the same tree after being pruned. These shots denounce man's control over nature, showing the real size and strength of these trees.

The work is signed on the back and belongs to a limited edition of 80 pieces, it is in fact numbered on the back 2/80.

It is provided with a wooden frame.
