Once upon a time, not so long ago, when the internet was just a word and smartphones and social media had not yet been invented, we communicated in a different way. And we managed to find each other, to be together, to be whole. The web created during the Land Art Festival is about this moment. Melancholy, melancholy...

This installation is a statement for pacifism made of locally collected stones. The symbol consists of a combination of the letters "N" + "W" (NO WAR). It is inspired by the peace symbol designed by Gerald Holtom in 1958, which represents the letters "N" and "D" in the flag as a symbol and is the official symbol of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. With this work, the artist questions the role of symbols in our collective consciousness. Could new symbols help people to think differently about the world? The artist encourages us to think - about a world in which conflicts and nationalism are constantly on the rise.

Vegetation in constant search of balance. Branches strive towards the light with the urge to fill the empty space, to the horizon and beyond. We humans also always want to go further, over the horizon; a transition into the other. With his work, Andreas Spitteler draws the audience's attention to their own position and the surroundings, the environment in which we find ourselves ("Horror vacui" Latin: fear of empty space). Hanging branch with fork, one part floating horizontally. Finer branches are embedded in the larger ones, filling the space. The whole thing rotates on its own axis.

In our success-orientated world, we are conditioned to plan and predetermine everything. But sometimes it is important to approach things playfully without a concrete plan. Or to abandon your original
idea and fully engage with the current situation and follow your intuition. In this sense, the installation is not the result of a pre-planned idea, but the result of a playful exploration of the given situation. A spontaneous reaction to what is there and what we perceive at that moment.

Everyone deserves a second chance, even a Christmas tree.

2.25 square metres of native soil.

Adapted to the acoustic environment, the three stations of the artwork change in their density and intensity. Along the alder promenade, the flow of the Weisse Lütschine can be heard to varying degrees as nature filters the sounds. The originally planned aid, the string, became the main element of the artwork as it developed.
the main element of the artwork. The groups of trees create a spatiality, they are part of the artwork. The strings emphasise this spatiality, but also the connection between the trees that exists in nature via the roots. At the same time, they are reminiscent of strings.

Root network around a tree. The trees communicate with each other through mycorrhizae - underground fungal and plant networks that cover the entire forest floor. This underground network of roots and mycorrhizae is visualised in this installation. Moss-covered branches lying on the forest floor and mossy logs from the surrounding area have become a network of moss roots.
