PROJECT FOR AN EROSION, 2014
Model: plywood, earth, brass, 12x24 inches / 25.4x60.9cm
Letter: laser jet on plain paper, 8x11 inches
Edition of 1


A hole must be dug in a useless soil of an outdoors property: Metal plates 10mm thick will be welded to achieve 3 pieces with 10x1000x6000mm each. The 3 pieces will be placed at the base and longer sides of the hole. Additional to them, a fourth piece with 10x500x6000mm should be welded at the center of the longest direction of the bottom horizontal plate. The smaller sides of the installation will be left open on purpose so the erosion of the adjacent earth can occur. The installation has a duration of one year. Photographic documentation takes place at the inaugural day and at the last day. Consequently, the installation is de-assembled and the pieces taken to a junk yard after the 365 day-cycle.
