Tue Greenfort’s interdisciplinary practice deals with issues such as the public and private realms, nature, and culture. Interweaving these subjects with the language of art he formulates a multi-faceted critique of today’s dominant economic and scientific production. Intrigued by the dynamics in the natural world, Greenfort’s work often revolves around ecology and its history, including the environment, social relations, and human subjectivity. The roots of his practice lie in the art movements of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Land Art and research-based artistic practice.

For 2024, INNSBRUCK INTERNATIONAL has invited Tue Greenfort with his site-specific outdoor installation EQUILIBRIUM. The artwork
consists of a large fallen tree trunk, which is covered with a «slackline» over the entire length of the tree and will be set up in Innsbruck’s Hofgarten. The slackline is embroidered with a quote from the IPCC Climate Report 2022, with animal emojis inserted between the words. This work is interactive, for the audience is encouraged to challenge its balance on the slackline under the supervision of experts on May 24 and «walk» across.
