Seeds of Life

“Seeds of Life” is an architectural-sculptural intervention by Roosa Tulvio and Mathias Gmachl that combines sustainable materials, regional plants and sounds to create a sensory-reflective space of experience.

To mark its 25th anniversary, the AIR - ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Lower Austria project is transforming the museum square in the heart of the Kunstmeile Krems into an attractive place to linger.

The artistic work focuses on man's relationship with nature and his ethical responsibility. The walk-in installation creates space for reflection. Subtle “seed eggs“ anchor the work on the museum square. This is where “Seeds of Life“ unfolds its sonic, poetic and discursive power - as a metaphor for the cycles of life, for rootedness and change.
