„ups and downs“ is an installation / intervention consisting of 5 manipulated airtubes, that rise and fall in regular intervals. Their external appearance is adapted to the surface of birches. With this obvious fake trees and their steady and unnatural up and down movement, we want to point out the worldwide intervention of humans in a natural cycle, which opposes with their own economically motivation. In most parts of Europa trees are cut down, reforestation in a monoculture follows, then they are cut down again, etc. With this installation we would like to question this cycle and invite visitors to think about whether the forest manipulated by humans is still an attractive functioning habitat and what consequences result from it in the long term. Is a sustainable forestry even possible and if so how could that look like in the future?
