The exhibition traces the natural in the urban and follows the trails of vitality and wilderness. The latter is not limited to the “official wilderness areas”, writes Gary Snyder, but can rather be found everywhere; it surrounds us. And Baptiste Morizot speaks of ‘enforesting ourselves’ to cultivate “a new kind of relationship with living territories”.

The artists link their works in the exhibition space with specific locations in Graz and visualise stories from and in the
‘wild sites’. They follow birds, foxes, bats, worms, neophytes, wild herbs, seeds, etc., which move at different speeds and are at home in different spheres of the city.
This exhibition features a mapping of The Green Belt in Graz, a superordinate network project that connects green, natural, vital, wild places and their inhabitants—from the Leechwald forest to the Plabutsch mountain, right across the city of Graz. Several art and cultural institutions based along this wide ribbon and other partners invite you to join a meandering search for trails, a leisurely stroll, a wild transition.
