Tree Mountain — A Living Time Capsule — 11,000 Trees, 11,000 People, 400 Years by Agnes Denes, located in Ylöjärvi, Finland, 1992-96.

[…] Ms. Denes is no stranger to projects that, on paper, would appear unrealizable. In the mid-1990s, she built a mountain in Finland,  Tree Mountain — A Living Time Capsule creating a virgin forest sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program and the Finnish Ministry of the Environment that will be protected for 400 years. (“Other people move mountains, I build them,” she quipped, taking a shot at artist Francis Alÿs’s famous 2002 performance piece When Faith Moves Mountains, in which 500 Peruvian volunteers used shovels to shift a sand dune over a few inches.) […]

“I do very large projects because there’s no sense doing little things in the corner to teach the world what needs to be done,” […]She listens intently, training her large dark eyes on you like a hawk deciding whether you’d make a good meal. But she doesn’t mind doing all the talking, especially when it concerns her long list of achievements.
