free-access public art installations in the world. Littmann isn’t new to large-scale public

projects. But this installation, his largest to date, was a long time in the making. 5.1. _____

One of them depicted a stadium packed with spectators looking towards a fully-grown forest

standing in the centre of the stadium. This stuck in Littmann’s mind, and whenever the idea

of creating an art installation in a stadium came up for discussion, he proposed this vision.

In 2016, he became interested in Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, a state-of-the-art facility

with 32,000 seats. 5.2. _____ With the site secured, Littmann proceeded to raise the € 2.2 m

needed for the installation itself. The funding came from Littmann’s own contacts and art

patrons in Switzerland. Then, Littmann asked a highly regarded landscape architect to bring

his vision to life. The biggest challenge was to find 300 trees of 19 varieties to make up

a typical Central European mini-forest on the pitch. “We needed to use what are called

‘schooled trees’,” says Littmann. “That means mature trees that are about 13–14 metres tall

that have been re-potted every four to five years, and don’t get stressed by moving.”

5.3. _____ Around the edges, a meadow area that went right up to the stands was created.

The whole installation was floodlit at night and the leaves changed colour as autumn

progressed. Visitors could enter the stadium, at no charge, and move freely around the

stands to see the work from different perspectives, but the forest itself wasn’t accessible.

The installation provoked a great deal of controversy. 5.4. _____ Littmann rejected this

argument saying that most of the existing forests were not mixed, but monocultures.

The native mixed forests are being completely marginalised, despite the fact that people

depend on them, especially now in the context of climate change. This may lead to the same

problems as in the Amazon. 5.5. _____ The project has brought these issues into focus.
