Monuments II by GreenART by Hubert Fenzl

A luminous memorial to the forest
The work ‘Monuments’ features a striking art installation set amidst a dense, unspoilt forest. Several golden-coloured stelae, reminiscent of abstract tree stumps, rise from the forest floor like sculptural memorials. The interplay between organic forms and the intense, metallic sheen of the surface creates a striking visual contrast to the natural surroundings.
The ambivalence of gold: appreciation versus overexploitation
At the heart of this work lies the deliberate duality of the gold used. On the one hand, the golden surface embodies the noble, the imperishable and the priceless – a tribute to nature itself, which is our most precious asset and the one most in need of protection. On the other hand, the gold symbolically refers to human greed for material wealth and ruthless exploitation. It stands for the global, profit-driven overexploitation that is systematically destroying our forests and ecosystems.
Artistic intention and message
As part of the GreenART project, this installation combines aesthetics with a profound ecological and socio-critical message. Inspired by Joseph Beuys’ expanded concept of art', the ‘Monuments’ provide a powerful impetus: they hold up a mirror to us and encourage us to reflect on our relationship with nature. A meditative yet thought-provoking motif that questions the state of our planet in the age of climate change.
