The temporary installation
1 January 201831 December 2026

The temporary installation of a grouping of rusty silhouettes of dry trees is an eloquent symbol of the issue of increasing civilizational devastation of the landscape with the need to point out the current criticism of the long-term treatment of large areas of our landscape. The theme of reclamation is the artificial transformation of a place, which can often be an example of unprofessional or financially abused corporate behavior. The result is often a failure of planting, but a well-financed undertaking, for example the conversion of harvested areas into artificially planted forests. Reclamation companies, however, mainly use unsuitable species of trees, from which they also plant monocultures of the same age and thus do not bring any lasting benefit.

In Chomutov, it was possible to start the tradition of planting trees in selected localities of the city in cooperation with the Services of the City of Chomutov and with the support of Senator Přemysl Rabas.
