Tongeren (B) 2007
In the context of the manifestation ‘Artuatuca’
Site specific installation
Barbed wire, torn pieces of clothing: 85 m x 0,60 m
Location:
Wall around Saint Catherine beguinage (1499).
Nuns had to be protected against murderers, thieves and rapists, although their main occupation was educating and feeding orphans and the poor.
Installation:
All along the wall of the St. Catherine beguinage barbed wire was installed with the remains of torn clothing in it. It is unclear wether the clothing derived from people entering or fleeing the beguinage.
