Korallenriff

Philipp Schraut

Not all those who visit the Dolomites, world heritage site, know that you are on what was once a coral reef. Small palms on the Peitlerkofel are an invitation to reflect and to explore the history of our planet.

Exhibit place Picia Pütia

The nine components of the Dolomites world heritage property protect a series of highly distinctive mountain landscapes that are of exceptional natural beauty. The sublime, monumental and colourful landscapes of the Dolomites have also long attracted hosts of travellers and a history of scientific and artistic interpretations of its values. These are just a couple of passages taken from the UNESCO world heritage committee's declaration. Picia Pütia, or Little Pütia, has been chosen for SMACH as a point of reference and inspiration for an art project that encompasses the mountains, Alps and Dolomites.
