De Waterlanders / Amersfoort 1997 To the edge of the new district, named Nieuwland, in Amersfoort in the autumn of 1997 a temporary art work had been built, on and around three small islands in the future water park. The installation is an imagination of the idea that the original occupants of this area are pushed back to the last site of untouched nature by the construction activities and by the establishment of new occupants. They trumpet from their small islands to the outside world and they literally hang out their dirty laundry. They feed themselves with solar energy and amuse themselves on the water side with machines which have names as: the quiet procession, the waterfall machine and the pier xylophone. Sponsored by Overeem v.o.f., a cooperation bond of Bouwfonds Woningbouw,
Mabon and Volker Stevin. |
