Ausstellung - Pfitscher Joch grenzenlos

Description

The exhibition is dedicated to the various traces of work “inscribed” in the mountain. This region at over 2,000 metres above sea level has been a space that people use and design for around 10,000 years. On display are finds from the Stone Age, when hunters mined rock crystal for blades and arrowheads. In the early Middle Ages, pots were made from soapstone on the Lavitzalm. The crossing was a smuggling route and a border post.

There are traces of the political divisions of the 20th century, such as the remains of a mine built by forced laborers during the Second World War, a never-occupied customs house at the pass crossing or a bomb attack by South Tyrolean activists in the 1960s. The trilingual travelling exhibition is shown in the summer months in a renovated farm building on the Lavitzalm (2,095 m) on the main ridge of the Alps.

In the winter months, she walks through communities in North and South Tyrol. It takes up the transport box as a design element, which is on the one hand an information carrier and a showcase with an integrated lighting system and on the other hand a container for exhibition transport. Accompanying is a 16-part booklet box in 3 language mutations, which deepens the content.
