A 16M Commemoration , 2006

Philippe Van Wolputte

Installation , 16 x 2.90 x 1.50 m

wood, mdf panels, river foil, water

The installation is a commemoration of a 16 metre long tunnel found by the artist during one of his excursion in Miljet, Croatia. During this trip the artist couldn't make it further than 16m inside this tunnel. The public walks the same 16 metres through water to get to a final room in the back of the installation. In 2008 Philippe Van Wolputte made a second work about this tunnel "Second Visit", which documents a second visit to the location, to finally get further then the original 16 metres.
