In a 30,000-capacity stadium located in Klagenfurt, a lakeside city found in picturesque southern Austria, near Italy and Slovenia, a forest with 300 trees has been planted by Basel-based Klaus Littmann. The exhibition will start on Monday and will be concluded on Oct. 27.
Littman while addressing Reuters in a media preview on Thursday said, "For some this will be of a highly symbolic character or of a philosophical character, like the 'tree of life' or 'the place of longing'," he added, "And for many, because of the current situation, this represents a memorial as part of the climate change discussion."
The concept of the exhibition is not new, regardless of the critical political issue of climate change all around the world, for it was first drawn 30 years ago by Austrian artist Max Peintner and is exhibited in the stadium.
Littman stated, "it goes back to the drawing which we project here by Max Peintner who in 1970 had the vision that one day, it could happen that we look at nature in designated areas only, for example in a crater architecture such as a stadium, that what we have been doing for decades at zoos with endangered animals could happen to nature."
