Award-winning sculptor Patrick Dougherty called this installation "Arcadia," which means "a region offering rural simplicity and contentment."
He built it from saplings with the help of volunteers on Texas St, Shreveport, in 2004. It was a commission from the Shreveport Regional Arts Council.
Installation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space, says Wikipedia.
Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called Land art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.
Installation art can be either temporary or permanent. Installation artworks have been constructed in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, as well as public and private spaces.
