Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Dit lopende onderzoek richt zich op een locatie nabij Sarah’s woonst, aan de flank van het Albertkanaal. Deze plaats vormt voor haar een analogie op het onderzeese, als plaats waar verbeelding vrij spel krijgt.
Sarah is gefascineerd door de mogelijkheid deze plek van een zeebaken (een persoonlijk ‘Leitfossil’) te voorzien. Haar zoektocht draait rond de centrale vraag welke vorm dit baken zou kunnen aannemen.
Een huidige focus ligt op het uiterlijk van de balken waaruit dit baken kan worden opgebouwd.
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
This ongoing research focuses on a location near Sarah's home, on the slope of the Albert Canal. For her, this place is an analogy to the undersea, as a place where imagination is given free play.
Sarah is fascinated by the possibility of providing this place with a sea beacon (a personal 'Leitfossil'). Her search revolves around the central question what form this beacon could take.
A current focus lies on the appearance of the beams from which this beacon could be constructed.
