In his new work The Geometry Of Hope, media artist Daniel Laufer adapts The Jews Beech tree. He follows the traces of scripture in the "German" forest: How has culture irrevocably inscribed itself into nature there for 200 years? How do we speak and write about the planet? And to which social minorities are images attributed, against which they must measure themselves?
