Folly by Lambert Kamps

The Fraeylemaborg estate is also the location of the project "New Follies on Fraeylema and Slochteren heritage". This one called "Façade" makes you think of a mini castle, like a decor of a fairytale maybe. At the back is a container that is used as an exhibition space, which was closed however when we were there. The folly was created by Lambert Kamps (1974), a Dutch artist and designer based in Groningen.

The folly was in fact made from parts of the demolished church tower of Zuidhorn. The tower was vertically cut in 2 parts and then folded open. In that way it now creates a façade in front of the container. If you are interested click HERE to Kamps' site, when you scroll down a bit there are photos showing the original church and the creating process of the folly.

    This is most interesting. And it does look rather like a small castle or chapel. Love your new header, too!

    I like the light in the first image, it's fantastic. I also like how they reused the tower. What an unique and creative idea. The location gives it a fairytale presence.

    It is an interesting reusing of the old church...

    Dit soort kunst fascineert me altijd, iets creeren wat niet is wat het lijkt. (mijn moeder was overigens geboren in Zuidhorn :))
