© Agnes Denes, 1992-6. Tree Mountain: A Living Time Capsule – 11,000 Trees, 11,000 People, 400 years (420x270x28 m), Ylojarvi, Finland.

 

Eleven thousand trees were planted in a complex mathematical pattern by eleven thousand people from around the world, to be maintained for 400 years. One of the largest reclamation sites in the world, Tree Mountain was declared a national monument to serve future generations with a meaningful legacy. The site was dedicated by the President of Finland, dignitaries, and participants from around the word, in 1996. The original drawing was completed in 1983.
