Korbinian Apple & Arkansas Black Apple trees. 2011
Tree-planting action
documenta 13, 2012 - Karlsaue park
As a prelude to documenta 13, already in October 2011, Durham made a work in collaboration with artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. They planted two trees in an area of the Karlsaue that used to be an orchard. Christov-Bakargiev planted a Korbinian Apple tree, commemorating Korbinian Aigner — a Bavarian priest and gardener who was deported to Dachau concentration camp in 1941, where he grew four new sorts of apples, giving them the names KZ-1, -2, -3, and -4. Durham remembered a rare and almost unknown tree of his childhood, planting a specimen of the Arkansas black apple.
