Badura dealt with ecological issues as early as the 1960s and, according to his own statement, is the first artist to visualize ecological issues in practice and problematize them theoretically. Michael Badura linked and expanded the term ecology with characteristics and phenomena critical of civilization and perception and began in 1964 with the project “Awakened World” with ecological research and long-term processes. In 1977 he was a participant in Documenta 6 .
