For though we are used to perceiving nature and culture as opposites, they are actually closely interwoven. This is precisely what Klaus Littman shows us in his startling project \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eTree Connections\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e. In 2019, around three hundred trees were planted in the pitch at the W\u0026ouml;rthersee football stadium in Klagenfurt. The result is the extraordinary experience of witnessing a confrontation between two otherwise strictly separate kinds of spaces. Blending the natural and the constructed worlds blurs their boundaries, making them practically indistinguishable. At the same time, the breathtaking views of this unique project offer fascinating insights into our current, unecological ideas and activities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAn exhibition curated by Littmann will take place at the Basel H.
