Fake boulder, work of art, a fascinating thing for children ("Daddy, how can that be?"). And a striking landmark in the landscape.

Nice if you like concrete and iron stones. Good landmark or meeting place.

The Floating Kei can be found near Dalfsen station. The work consists of a large boulder that balances on a fragment of a classical column.

In the boulder a round hole can be seen with the same diameter as the pillar element, which makes it look like it has been sawn out. This is optical illusion. The whole is a construction of steel and concrete. Smaller boulders are scattered around it. Bas Maters has placed the work on an artificially created grassy hill from which one has a view of the surroundings. He wanted the work to become one with nature and to give the impression of a primordial thing. At the same time it is a meeting place and a landmark.
