die Menschheit war hier (Mankind was Here) is 16 m broad ja 22 m high.
I did it at Kunstluft land art occation May 2023 in Conters in Prättigau of Switzerland.
The caveman marked his visit.
He made a picture of his hand on the wall of the cave.
The trace left by modern humans is the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
It is not visible, but it remains and changes the world.
A large hand on the slope, digged with a shovel, can be seen from afar.
It is a copy of caveman's picture.
I finished it with crushed charcoal.
I wanted make our trace visible at least conceptually. We were here.
However, this image disappears when the plants take over the work.
How it will be with us? Are we disappearing too?
The palm means also STOP!
Enough!
