„It was Tisma's largest project with 375 participants from thirty countries with thousands works send in. The idea of the project was proposed by a cosmetics factory from Osijek in Croatia, who wanted to sponsor the project. Tisma accepted on two conditions, namely that the documentation was a full colour book and they will send the invitations. They accepted and the project as an homage to nature started in 1988 and lasted one year. After colleting the material in 1989 the preparations for the book started, Pierre Rouve a professor and art historian from London was engaged to write an essay on Mail-Art as a foreword. And a young ecologist from Novi Sad was engaged to write on the catastrophic situation in the world. Tisma himself wrote an introduction about the project and searched for a printing-house. But situation was changing in Yugoslavia towards a civil war in Croatia when it became independent in 1991 and the contact with the cosmetics factory became lost. It made that Tisma had to search for other sponsors, yet he was able to exhibit the project in the summer of 1992 in Belgrade's 'Cultural Center Gallery'. It was soon after the cultural blockade was imposed and the project did receive interest by the media. Afterwards the show went to Novi Sad, Sombor, Zrenjanin, Sremski, Karlovci, Pristina, Nis,.... all over Serbia during the years of the international cultural blockade. Thanks to twelve other sponsors the catalogue could be printed and send to all the contributors.” Source: Atisma.com
