Kastanjan halaaminen – hautaportaat / Embracing the Chestnut Tree – Grave Steps

Anna-Lea Kopperi kertoo tulevaisuuden hautamuistomerkiksi luomastaan marmoriveistoksesta:
”In front of the museum in Kassel stands a mighty chestnut tree. I felt 
a desire to go up to it, to embrace it. As if I were reunited with 
someone I had lost. On the white marble steps I felt I could share in 
the tree’s strength, might and constancy, as though embracing someone 
who now exists in a different state.”
Documenta X rinnakkaisnäyttelyssä Kasselissa esillä ollut veistos, joka on toteutettavissa hautausmailla ja viheralueilla.
