To Burn, Forest, Fire is an artwork by Katie Paterson that uses scent to explore the first-ever forest on Earth, and the last forest in the age of the climate crisis. The artwork employs the senses to cultivate an intimate, intuitive experience that aims to transport participants through time as a reminder of the increasing levels of extinction caused by humanity.
Design by Fraser Muggeridge (Luke Charsley and Marjo Malin), using Satyr as the main typeface for information; the monospaced sans serif and the typeface used for Chinese characters are yet to be identified.
