Friedhelm Zilly

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The work was created as part of the "Art in the Landscape" project of the state of Baden-Württemberg. It addresses the conflict between the conflicting demands on the landscape (agriculture, nature conservation, industry, etc.). The construction of the motorway in the Hilzingen district showed this conflict particularly sharply.
