EN CAUL, BRIEF ENCOUNTERS, LUSTWARANDE - platform for contemporary sculptures, TILBURG (NL) 2021
En Caul is an elongated rectangular shape, installed along one of the birch lanes in the park, de Oude Warande in Tilburg.
Along the midline of the rectangular structure runs a wall (not seen from the outside) that blocks the light from flowing through the inside. The midwall, this way, allows for invisibility behind the thin, elastic, semi-transparent membrane, which is mounted around all four sides of the structure. The midwall also works as support for the bodies. From each side the bodies lean onto the membrane, sculpting ephemeral organic forms in the elsewise rigid rectangular shape.
Performance duration: 1 hour
Performed by: Christian Guerematchi, Vera Goetzee, Rob Polmann and Emma Bogerd.
Material: Construction wood, mdf, paint, hooks, elastic lycra, neoprene, polyester grosgrain, paint, hook and loop fastener
Size: 560 * 125 * 250 cm
