Waldbrand is an installation intended to commemorate the dramatic forest dieback in 2020. A stack of dry wood was built ontop of a pedestal made of recycled reinforced concrete beams. The structure was burned and photographed. Afterwards the installation has been dismantled. What remains is a renewed awareness of protecting our sensitive ecosystem.
