IN THE ALPS - Installation (2009, together with artist Isabel Mertel, New Zealand)

Four nations fought in the First World War among the high mountains of the Alps, and to this day the debris of war remains scattered there. But the beauty of the unique palaeozooic coral reef of the Carnic Alps is timeless. It was formed 300 million years ago along the coast of the ocean separating the European and African continents.
A flat barque, formed by piling up layers of rock on the 2500-metre-high ridge in the September hail, suggests the early oceans, suggests continents and planets without borders.
