Unique Shrub Divisions Sprout Out From Inside Support Beams

Baitogogo is a half-sculptural, half-architectural set up by Brazil specialist Henrique Oliveira that provides a surreal growth of tree branches out of white columns. The São Paulo-based artists item offers a unique viewpoint of indoor design while telling audiences of the components used for development. He provides a structural and natural combination that plays with a person's sense of space.

Having set up this amazing site-specific item at Palais de Tokyo in Paris a few months ago, the exhibit states,
"Creating a spectacular and invasive Gordian Knot, Henrique Oliveira plays with Palais de Tokyo’s architecture, allowing a work that combines the vegetal and the organic to emerge. The building itself becomes the womb that produces this volume of 'tapumes' wood, a material used in Brazilian towns to construct the wooden palisades that surround construction sites."
Check out the under the surface "making of" video, below, to get a better idea of the installation's structural structure.

The Mystery of The Longyou Caves

In 1992, a strangely curious man named Wu Anai, near the Chinese village of Shiyan Beicun in Longyou County, based on a hunch, began to pump water out of a pond in his village. Anai believed the pond was not natural, nor was it infinitely deep as the local lore went, and he decided to prove it. He convinced some of his villagers and together they bought a water pump and began to siphon water out of the pond. After 17 days of pumping, the water level fell enough to reveal the flooded entrance to an ancient, man-made cave, confirming Anai’s suspicion.
