Landschaft im Fluss / Landscape in the River
Thomas Stricker’s Landscape in the River was created in 2010 as part of the exhibition Über Wasser gehen. The artist staged an “artificial” island with a sculptural setting in the newly renatured and widened riverbed of the Seseke. He planted unusual trees, such as bald cypresses, and combined them with horsetail and other – sometimes very old – species that are particularly rare in today’s Bergkamen landscape. With his work, Stricker goes beyond the process of redesigning a river landscape. He shows how renaturing is a man-made type of nature and that the boundaries between the artificial and the natural are “fluid.”
