MODEL, 2012, Amsterdam (NL), Wertheimpark

By Tom&Lien Dekyvere and Han Van Der Tol.

Imagine a world within the world, where sculpted light creatures live together. One colored red, the other green and very dark blue. A skinny one and a big long white creature. One with small edges and a funny shaped one. All of them form the population of the Wertheimpark, Amsterdam, their habitat. At first sight they live a very peaceful and happy life, but there's a network of emotions, in the form of electronical cables under the ground, transporting trouble!

They laugh, scream, cry and talk… Play, tease, sing and have fun …They try to live together … It fastly becomes a situation where the difficulties of living with different sculptures is manifested. And at the same time a great place to mingle stories in light and sound creating fantastic atmosphere's. This artificial place where sculptures live, stands parallel with contemporary living. People of different backgrounds form groups of friends and enemies. Big city's like Amsterdam try to merge all these individuals and give them an opportunity to live “with the other". Seeing different colors and hearing other sounds, it really forms a unique conversation. What is the ideal model?
