Artist Escif is on an eco mission to reforest Southern Italy’s Mount Olivella, which due to massive deforestation, is causing hydrogeological instability in the region today. The artist’s environmental art intervention, Breath – Time to Recharge includes an image of a tree battery on the bald face of the mountain, which will slowly “recharge” thanks to the planting of 5,000 new trees, creating what’s Europe’s largest artwork. Located in Sapri, Southern Italy, Mount Olivella was partly deforested in the 1700s, which has created a hydrogeological instability of the region. This instability is most likely to blame for climate-related problems such as flooding in the surrounding areas. The project, plants 2,500 Holm Oaks and 2,500 Maples on the mountain’s face within the battery image. All in all, the art piece will cover a surface of 120,000 sm The first phase of planting is scheduled for September 2017. Over time, locals will be able to see the battery image slowly “recharging.
