Opening 25/08/2007
Be prepared !
I just finished the installation... it has been a huge work. From the inception to the production, the transport, the building up, incertainties... you know.
But... my proposal for a monument for traffic-victims has been prepared for its opening.
It is a giant collapsible clothesline, a 3 times enlarged version of the one you dry clothes with.
The giant mill, a huge symbolic cross actually, expresses my relationship with the immensely personal aspect that is suggested by clothes, combined with the small crosses aside Flemish country-roads that signifie tragic accidents. In another place nearby I will put a huge archive of name-labeled clothes in a basement, like a kind of 'tomb'.
See you there !
P.s. Many thanks to the company Jan De Nul for their fantastic help!!
Also special thanks to Lies Van Assche and Bram Van Damme !
