The stadium turns into a forest

Index

The game to be played, this time, is a different one: it is the one with the environment, which needs, now more than ever, strong messages that scream all their urgency.

This time, however, there are no players on the pitch, no referee to start the game: from the stands, the gaze turns towards the playing area and it is there that one can admire a forest.

Birches, oaks, alders, aspens, white willows, and then hornbeams and field maples: it is the temporary installation by artist Klaus Littmannwhich can be admired from 8 September inside the stadium in Klagenfurt, Austria. A real forest, inspired by the dystopian drawing of Austrian artist and architect Max Peintner in 1937, from which the work takes its subtitle. The project is called For Forest - The Unending Attraction of Nature and was created with a very specific purpose: to invite the public to reflect on our perception of nature and its future.

Three hundred trees, some weighing six tonnes, had to be transplanted on the playing field of the Wörthersee Stadion, under the supervision of Enea Landscape Architecture.
Visitors will be able to admire, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day, the changes in the forest according to the seasons and the fauna interacting with the planted species.
For Forest can be visited until 27 October 2019: after this date, the forest will be replanted at a nearby public site.
