Walk of Insects

Edgar Honetschläger’s artistic intervention entitled WALK OF INSECTS consists of 13 granite slabs set into the forecourt of Wilhelm Exner House on the grounds of the university’s Türkenschanze Campus. Each slab is engraved with the image of an insect species and a text. Collectively, these form something of an artistic “insect manifesto” made up of 13 instructions dedicated to protecting these creatures.
Another integral component of the project is a plot of land in rural Lower Austria that was purchased with the aim of transforming it into a “non-human zone”. This area, which is closed to visitors, is to be restored as a habitat for insects and birds and conserved for the long term.
