Sie stehen an der alten Stelle zweier ehemaliger Bäume,
die ihren Lebenszyklus vollendet haben.
Mögen sie viele Generationen Früchte tragen und Freude bereiten.

The setting was on one hand used as an mixed media installation on the other hand as a tool for an audiovisual performance.

Our primary aim was to mobilize/motivate as many inhabitants of both sides of the border to join a collective needlework in order to produce out of many, squared, single blotches of wool one huge pice that represents the single efforts of the people living in that region. Not only the outcome of this project, but especially the one-week workshop conducted together with most different kinds of people at Bad Radkersburgs’s main square as well as rather spare but also very interesting in most different areas of the region were an unique attempt to represent both regions’s connectivity and literally interweave two cultures …
