WHITE LINE

Where nature is tried to be hold and controled by humans, an art installation could be needed to show the oposite. 

What you see here is a beautiful empty space in the sculpture park (more related to a forrest) of #krollerMollerMuseum, with a bench and a bin (so, not so empty afterall), of which inspires me for making a 3D sketch, of a white plaster (plaster of Paris / gipsen) blok, around 3 beautiful trees (they will not be harmed in any way, I know what I am doing, I did this before). The sketch you see in the foto. The white blok in this sketch is designed in a way that it forms a communication between the surroundings, the trees, the visitors, bin and bench, and you can see this in a before and after situation, where 'the before' is the untouched space, 'the after' situation suddenly has a new void filled, with white plaster which let you rethink the situation (if you like too).

To complete this conceptual installation piece is the same plaster blok inside the museum of Kröller-Müller Museum (in exactly the same time frame of course), free of the trees (but an exact copy, so 3 empty holes), free of the outside elements. It will be protected. An outside camera will film the outside wide element, and project inside, next to the installation inside. See Foto.
 

The outside element will experience the effects of rain, wind, sun and moving trees (and everything else what nature throws at it), and will start to wear and tear as a result of it. The 2 elements will grow even further apart, the public can see that on the screen next to the inside installation), isn't it sad but also romantic in a way??.

This site specific art installation is interactive in the way that as visitor you are likely to start to think about the realtion between the beem, the benach and the bin, as in the trees are now connected to human behaviour, the need of a beanch an a bin in a forrest, but also if you would sit in the bench, you would likely to feel the weiht of the blok above you, as the sarwd of Damocles.  The connection inside you can make as visitor as well, like a compariso is easy made and also the abscense of the trees and the other elements could leed you to think of what is outside and what is inside, in context of the white block, the museum and the nature.
