Dersauer Kunsttage 1999


During the Dersauer Kunst-Tage, three house sculptures of the same size were built in the landscape around Lake Plön. Two made of wood, which were placed in two spots in the forest. Another sculpture made of glass was placed with the gable diagonally into the ground, the excavated soil and plants were embedded inside the gable.
For the period of this sculpture's existence, a kind of microclimatic niche with its own water balance was created inside the sculpture, which allowed the plants to continue growing.
The glass house was destroyed by vandalism.
