    Tips

    February 10, 2023

    The Oude Lombardsteeg, also called Passage de la Baleine, refers to the covered passages in Paris. At the same time, the work refers to the time when a large estuary divided the old sea clay area in Friesland in two and Leeuwarden was a settlement on the Middelzee. The ribs of a whale skeleton form the arches of a passage - the whale seems to be stuck in the narrow alley in the center of Leeuwarden. The LED lighting incorporated in the 60-metre-long skeleton still sets the entire organic colossus in motion again.
