Wim Delvoye's Caterpillar has been on the Middelkerke sea wall since 2003. However, the copy that is now on display is not the same as during the first edition of Beaufort. That original work moved to Ground Zero in New York that same year. The current Caterpillar has been there since 2004 and was given a spectacular expansion in May 2019 with the accompanying Flatbed Trailer. Together they create a new, impressive work of art measuring 21 meters long. Caterpillar + Flatbed Trailer is part of Delvoye's Caterpillar series from 2002. With this collection of remarkable construction machines, he forges a timeless melting point between the past and present. In this work, the tracked tractor symbolizes modern times and the decorative patterns of a Gothic church symbolize the medieval world.

The artwork is called "Caterpillar 5bis" and is by the artist Wim Delvoye. The excavator was created for the exhibition "Beaufort01" in 2003. The original moved to Ground Zero after the exhibition in New York. The current copy is here since 2004.

I thought about what it was supposed to mean, but it is art, but very well done.
