Score for the Atlantic
Wall is a performative installation created with a group of participants at the
Atlantikwall Museum, a WW2 site at Raversijde near Oostende. The piece was
commissioned by Vrijstaat 0 for the exhibition Private Tag, curated by Isabelle
De Baets.
The piece, developed
over a couple of weeks, was made by walking through the site following existing
animal tracks, desire lines and boundaries marked by trenches and openings to
tunnels.
These paths, made physical
through stitch, brought into view and into mind the superimposed networks of
lines dissecting the site, topographical, man-made and imagined.
The group of
participants completed the work in a durational performance at the opening of
the exhibition. A film documenting the making and rehearsal of this piece was
also shown.
