in detail

With the help of selected subjects arranged in three sections ("The Mystified Forest", "The De-Mystified Forest", and "The Maltreated Forest") the exhibition focuses on the once obvious but now forgotten network of closely intertwined cultural-anthropological relationships that connect man, trees and forests. Since time immemorial woods and trees have formed an integral part of man’s environment. He lived in forests and they were both an integral part of his livelihood and a real-fictitious counterworld.
