SPOT Expedition - Oerol 2017
Right on top of the old dike, where the polder and the sea can be captured in one glance, the installation SPOT is located. The visor of SPOT is directed at the polder, where a big spectacle awaits. Colonies of terns and gulls are screeching to be seen.
At Oerol Festival 2017 we have initiated, designed, manufactured and built up an installation on behalf of the Vogelbescherming Nederland. An architectural study, included engineering processing, external affairs and logistics, on behalf of an external institute.
UP – HORIZON - DOWN
SPOT can be characterized like an observation post for whoever is passing by. Three corridors capture three different perspectives of the typical polder-life at the island of Terschelling. The first corridor focuses on the life in the air: gulls. The middle one is a stand which captures the bigger image of a polder: farms, cows and forests in the background. Here we have had tutorials where we explained the audience how to perceive the landscape and introduced them to bird watching. The last corridor is focussing on the life of a single bird: downscaling the audience to overthink a life of a chick.
