now
De tijger eet de zebra en de vogel vliegt verschrikt weg
a diorama
of the entire world
a grand magic showbox
a sad song
about human beings and the things that surround them
although the moon (which also plays a role)
remains quite indifferent to it all
oh! you shall see vat you shall see
Smeermaas-Kessenich
For Kunst aan de Maas and Z33, Benjamin Verdonck explores the Maas valley on foot. Along the way he collects objects that tell something about the area, from stones and seeds to plastic containers and lost jewelry. He treats these everyday ‘things’ as a kind of relics, which he presents in a unique way in various chapels in the Maas valley.
