Since the 1980s, Kawamata has explored the concept of “work in progress”, which interrogates the process of art itself, and he has developed this project in parallel with the construction of the Northern Alps Eco Park general waste treatment plant. During the production period, students from in and out of the country gather to participate in the Northern Alps Forest Art School, where they are given lectures by specialists of the area and learn about the relationships between forests and civilizations in a stay-and-learn program.
