ditch water


Wanted: ditch water!
This is the water pavilion 'Stille Wetters' ('Silent Waters') that can be viewed now in the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden. The round sort of chamber is an 'aquatheque' and resting spot -you can step inside and sit on the bench-, created from about 1,000 bottles with (ditch)water from a great number of different locations in Friesland and other places in the Netherlands. Visitors are invited to bring ditchwater themselves (max 1 liter), which will then be added to the growing collection..

  1. Attractive, but in a very weird way. :-) Do you suppose the artist is making a environmental statement?

    1. It is a project that refers to the built of a new water technological centre in Leeuwarden. I agree it's a bit weird, but creative thinking as well :)

  3. What a cool idea! Do they test the waters or are they purely used for decoration?

    1. I believe the bottles are only used for decoration, so to create this 'art object'.
