Kunstgarten Graz was able to win Hartmut Skerbisch for this project and, with the support of the Institute for Art in Public Space, erect this living solar sculpture on 2400 m² with 1800 Buxus sempervirens plants and a stainless steel sculpture in the center. kunstGarten was responsible for the construction and maintenance until 2011.
