Parallel to the thematic exhibition „climate and the human being“ the installation shows an artistic model of what is not to be seen in reality. A massive soundscape, 24 hothouses with individual topics and a natural landscape shows a sculptural experiment to simulate global climate factors. The wall drawing can hardly clear what is incomprehensible.
