Kellerwald National Park is a protected area of approyimately 60 km² in the central region of Germany. Although it is covered with one of Europe´s last natural copper beech forests (also known as ‘European beech’) the acknowledgement as a National Park required a struggle over many years.
As athmospheric and playful introduction a series of rotundas make up the first part of the exhibition with an installation in each of them. 20 different local species were modeled as moveable 3D figures in a lifelike way to be animated, to some extend in realtime.
