SAFE, Dalfsen, NL

130 m2
second-hand wood, transparent plastic foil


The art space SAFE is an atom bunker where all the technical components, such as aluminium cable ducts and airshafts, are attached to the ceiling bare and exposed.
Starting by the entrance, the cable duct on the ceiling is reconstructed on the floor: second-hand wooden planks are placed following and overlapping each other, lying on wooden blocks small distance above the ground. Throughout the whole space, the elements on the ceiling are reflected on the floor: the cable ducts in wooden lines and the airshafts in wooden shapes.
The installation turns around the corner. In order to be able to follow it, one must start walking on the wooden structures. They flex under the pressure.
Around the corner, a space opens up where transparent plastic foil is stretched above the ground. Here, the wooden structures get clearly assigned the role of walking bridges. Waves stir the surface of the plastic when walked on the planks.
