CITIES - sculptures and land art
Rotterdam - Groot IJsselmonde
The view from the surrounding spaces is in great contrast with the
activities which are performed there. Suspects being taken into this
office must wonder what kind of police station they have been brought
to. Their exercise yard is quite different.
As can be seen in these
photographs, the reflections in the twelve windows surrounding the space
were part of my plan and it was my intention to see the reflected
segments repeat along the circumference of the enclosed space; they sort
of animate the revolving movement. I proposed to use mirrored glass, but
that was not possible - the officer in charge needs to be able to keep
an eye on everything. But, even with plain glass, the reflection has the
effect I had in mind.
