Baltic Logs are cross-media research processes, looking at de-forestation of the woodlands for military purposes that started in 1930. and it continues today. It is designed destruction of Lithuanian forests were within its own ecosystems trees are growing, falling and growing up again without the need for human in-teractions.

“It doesn’t matter where you live, in your genes, there’s still the forest” – Mindaugas Survila, director of the film The Ancient Woods (Sengire in Lithuanian).

Between humans and trees, there is an unpropor-tioned exercise of power. Humans are exploiting trees and there is no equal material exchange of each other’s bodies. There are flesh and blood against wood cells and water. Cutting down the forests is also cutting down the living habitat of plant and animal species.

During the virtual journey of ten days, we inhabited in the form of mediatic space and documented the past and present of destroyed woodlands in different loca-tions in Lithuania. The aim is to trace the creation of new ecosystems for construction of the military land-scapes or bomb’s testing in the Soviet time as was the case of Rūdininkų wood (Rūdininkų giria) where sand dunes have been formed as a consequence of military pilots bombing training and constant fires in the area
