Viewpoint (2018)

acrylic paint and wood
240 x 366 x 135cm 

By placing a wall in the middle of an open space in nature Willem de Haan takes away part of the view over this landscape. To be able to look at the landscape behind the wall visitors have to climb the ladder that Willem left there. This way a new viewing point (one and a half meter above the general eye height) and view  are created. 

This installation was made on location in Lent, NL as a part of Festival De Oversteek.
