It is only through the human perspective that nature becomes a landscape, that a forest becomes a primeval forest, a climax, a temple of equilibrium in which content can be inscribed. In biology, the climax after a succession is referred to as the climax. Primeval forests are in climax, they exist today only as a relic tolerated by man - as an anthropological construction. Even primeval forests are not free of past events; they harbor their own memories and stories like an ancient temple that carries both traces of the past and hints of the future. Man longs for an equilibrium, the state of stable peak that seemed to exist in the past and can be reached in a distant future, but never in the present. The stability of the equilibrium of a primeval forest lies in its instability. Constant demolition, decay, reconstruction and reorganization go hand in hand. A never-finished state, an eternal construction site.
