In his project, Matthias Göttfert examines the discrepancy between the idyllic nature of the Salzkammergut and the hidden reality behind the ecological footprint of our modern way of life. The artist sheds light on how prosperity and environmental protection in Central Europe often come at the expense of other regions. The installation created on site scrutinises the tension between visible harmony and invisible consequences, inviting visitors to reflect on this deeper dimension of our consumer society.
