a virgin mary for herrnbaumgarten

Quoting the rural tradition of Bilderbäume (trees adorned with numerous images of The Virgin Mary) the artist duo purchased replicas of statues accredited with miraculous powers in various places of pilgrimage with shrines dedicated to The Virgin Mary, and grouped them around a tree. The statues and images are protected by little cases and canopies of larchwood and marked with the name and place of origin of the replica concerned.
