More than 300 graveyard ribbons where put by the artist herself in this 30 m high tree near the famous St. Stephens cathedral in the main citycenter of Vienna. Beyond the tree two graves with apples and green plants where installed as a symbol of our mortality and life. On the ribbons, where normaly “last goodbys” are posted, the artist wrote the words ” Viva life, viva love, viva temptation – here and now”. The installation was accompanied by an exhibition of the artist´s acrylic painting series “Resurrection” and the video “What is it that remains”.
