This work is a recreation of a space the artist discovered during his search for deserted places that are in danger of being demolished, renovated or forgotten. Van Wolputte has not created a staged set, but rather a fleeting, naive interpretation of the space. The space is strongly reminiscent of a post-earthquake scene with its inherent danger of asbestos being released due to the crumbling of the building materials. Van Wolputte has often referred to this in his work. The crack in the front wall functions as the entrance to the space. It then continues on in the ceiling and into the space’s elevated wooden floor.
