Paninsula is a fictitious tropical paradise island ignored by geographers, where each one builds his house in lush vegetation and finds a peace away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Olaf Rauh «built» literally these dwellings, pixel by pixel, recognizable by their geometric forms contrasting with the curvatures of the vegetal world. This series created in 2007 takes even more resonance in this coronavirus period.

First gallery to have presented it in Europe, the series of the Kyung-Ju forest is the one with which he gained national and international recognition. The high winds in this region of South Korea twist, carve the pines giving them a dreamlike presence.
