Show allDer philosophische Bestseller-Autor Rüdiger Safranski und der Philosoph, Kurator und Übersetzer Stefan Zweifel unternehmen eine Tiefenbohrung über die Bedeutung des Waldes in Zeiten der Klimakrise. Denn so brennend aktuell die Debatte über den Wald in Zeiten der Klimakatastrophen scheint, sie wurzelt in der Romantik. Und über diese hat Rüdiger Safranski vielfach geschrieben. Auch in seinem jüngsten Buch «Einzeln sein» (Hanser, 2021) schweift er in Spazier- und Gedankengängen durch die „Waldeseinsamkeit“. Dort trifft er u.a. auf J.J. Rousseau… Mit Rousseau, der das Wort „romantisch“ erfand und als erster auf die wilden Ufer des Bielersees anwandte, begann auch der Mythos des Waldes als Gegenwelt zur zerstörerischen Zivilisation.

The forests – used by people for centuries – have faced increasing destruction since the 19th century on account of industrialisation. Figures such as Paul Sarasin and later on Bruno Manser came forward and campaigned for the protection of the forests. The exhibition shows our relationship with the forest through representation in literature and art: once exaggerated by the romantics as a safe haven from civilisation, artists’ depictions of the forest are today dominated by the subject of climate change.
