De Doorgang

in the psychiatric clinic 'ST.Camillus' in St.Denijs Westrem (Gent).

1999

The project in the St. Camillus Clinic was a commission for the entrance of there new building.I took the option to develop a group op stones putted on a relief so that visitors of the clinic can participate on the sculpture and the sculpture participates on daily life. To enter the building one is obliged to pass in between two stones. One is high and straight, the other is low and thick. On the moment one stands in the middle, the water is coming from two sides. It is even passing the road and is running to the third part of the composition, the boat form, where the water is collecting. The third part is receiving.
