Arche 2.0 – An art installation by Georg Zenz

“Given everything that’s happening around us at the moment, we should seriously consider building another ark”

It was with this thought in mind that the Ark 2.0 came into being – a spectacular wooden artwork. The 26-metre-long and almost six-metre-high sculpture stands in the high-altitude hiking area of the Wildkogel Arena against the impressive backdrop of the Hohe Tauern mountains, inviting visitors to pause, marvel and reflect.
