WERVIANEN / DEN HELDER
Wervianen is a light art work (PANI) made with Femke Kempkes for the façade of Theater De Kampanje in Den Helder. In 8 collages we zoom in on the history of Willemsoord and specifically on the various workers (Wervianen) and workplaces on the former Marine area.
We use site-specific material, related to the place or the building and the façade forms a medium to project the information back to the site. This is called 'performing urban memory'. The proces is a mix of analogue and digital work resulting in analogue slides (18x18 cm). The art work is realized in the context of the Den Helder light route, 14 December 2017/11 January 2018.
