"All of which does not alter the fact that Pnin was on the wrong train"

I made this work for SPOOR Festival, along the Groene 62. This used to be old railroad line connecting Torhout to Ostend. The landscape surrounding the railroad — which is the landscape of my birthplace — is flat. For a long time, I thought this was a problem. The world seemed small, sound never reflected the way it did in the mountains, and the light appeared to fall straight down from the sky. Later, I found myself in Estonia. There too, it is flat, yet the light is softer, the sky mirrors in the bogs, and the forests tell stories. I believe those stories still exist in our cultivated, fragmented Flemish landscape, but they are harder to perceive.
