    Artist: Ivars Drulle
    I Can Hear It consists of two horns (similar to an old gramophone) that face the sea. A woman sits on a bench in front of it and listens. You can sit next to them and listen to the second horn. The installation captivates with numerous details (the clothes of the woman, the studs of the horns, etc.) that recall the Art Nouveau style of the Hotel Bellevue and a time when the coast was still a glamorous leisure area.

    I can hear it (Dutch: I can hear it) is a work of art in the Belgian seaside resort of Westende. It is a work by the Latvian artist Ivars Drulle from 2012.

    Two horns, like old gramophones, listen to the sea. A woman puts her ear to listen to one of them, leaving room for someone who wants to listen to the sea through the other. The execution of the work of art is related to the Art Nouveau style of the nearby Grand Hôtel Bellevue and the time when the coast was still a prestigious leisure zone.

    If we speak inside, from whatever side we are, there is no need to shout, the sound is very well carried. Fun for children. The woman is a little more buried now.
