Part of expanding our location to include the water through the Border Lab involves taking a serious look at the water habitat itself. As a counterpart to the Biotoop Dijkspark, we will introduce the Aquatoop as a space for artistic and social-ecological research.
Living underwater is not our primary focus, but rather the consideration of water when focusing on land and what could be a healthier exchange. We challenge the conventional division of these realms. In historic Cistercian and Buddhist monasteries water management was not only studied for water management was not only studied for practical reasons but also for its broader understanding of life, order and spatial distribution. What do you feel underwater? How do we take people into that world in a non-invasive way?
This project is supported by Stimuleringsfonds and AFK.
