Upon entering the usually locked room in the Baseltor, a tree awaits the visitor. It is mounted horizontally in the room, along with its roots. The hollowed out and decorated tree is perforated to form a flute. The artist had a spruce taken out of the ground in such a way that the root system remained largely intact. The tree is hollowed out and equipped with holes like a flute. Carvings create finely worked out parts on the one hand, yet the trunk remains raw in certain places. This tree sculpture hangs in the center of the room in the Baseltor. The artist thus transforms the tree into an irritating object between flute and battering ram. (Anna Bürkli)
