Synopsis
The fungus Microsphaerella dearnessi, which affects the insigne pine variety, has stained the forests of the Basque Country brown, even infecting the painted forest of Oma, the artwork of the Basque artist Agustin Ibarrola. This work belongs to the Land Art movement, which is mainly characterised by its ephemeral nature. Within this movement, artists leave their works on display at the mercy of weather conditions and other elements beyond human control.
