Rotting Fruit and Wasps
Amsterdam 2009
7 x 7 x 6 meters
Wood, concrete and paint
A site specific work inspired by the location. The three dimensional Vanitas sculpture is emphasizing the dangers in the jungle of Amsterdam Zuid. At first sight Amsterdam Zuid looks like a quiet, shadowy part of Amsterdam. And still danger is lurking around the corner. As long as you're hidden behind the high fences in the cool air-conditioned bunker nothing can happen to you. Once on the sidewalk or lawn you’ll imagine yourself in a jungle where wasps as big as pigs and angels as big as machetes have it in for you. Will you be their feast meal or will they prefer the rotting fruit?
