Abstract

Operazione Difesa della Natura was one of the projects on which Joseph Beuys worked during his last years. Although the foundations of this unfinished project still rest on the ideas of «social sculpture» and «the expanded concept of art» out of which he had shaped his best-known interventions, it is in this project carried out in the south of Italy where Beuys’ ideas about nature can be more clearly apprehended: nature as a dual reality which determines the uneasy relationship which the artist can develop with the self, society and nature itself.
