Artificial Landscape 2: Hanging Water

Installation of wood, PE lines, thousands of plastic bags filled with water
Size: 11/7/2.50m

The installation has been commissioned by De Galerij, Drachten: the gallery in Theatre De Lawei. The installation has been made because of the theme "Water" for the programme of the theatre.
The installation is a wooden cubic construction. Thousands of PE lines hang at the same distance on the wooden lathes. On each line hangs one plastic bag filled with the same amount of clear water.
The installation has been placed in the trajectory of the low winter sunbeams that comes through the windows. Exactly where a sunbeam strikes the PE line the plastic bag with water has been hung and the rest of the line has been cut off which fell on the floor. There appeared a pattern of huge drops, which looks like baroque chandeliers.
Depending of point of view and position and light, the image of the the installation is different.
