ROUTE

The installation ROUTE was shown in April 2009 as part of installation project SET in Crossfire Project Base / Pakhuis Wilhelmina in Amsterdam.

The installation consisted of a room in which 5 large paraffin snails had left their shiny marks. By accurate lighting these traces lit up surprisingly on the floor of raw concrete.

A video was shown in an intimate corner of the room, with detailed images of the construction of the high-speed line, filmed from the highway that runs next to it. These images formed a contrast by their rectilinear fast rhythm with the slow silent snails, with their winding tracks.

The installation poetically invites visitors to the space to ask themself questions about speed and the awareness with which they travel their routes:

Do you focus on your goal, and is that goal the only thing you have in mind on your route or is your route determined by what you find on your way and do you take the time to experience that? And what do you find in between those extreme ends of the question?
