THE WELL (1985)
Video-installation, live camera, b/w, sound

The installation was realized in collaboration with the art gallery De Burcht in Leiden (The Netherlands). The gallery was located at the bottom of a hill on which the medieval fortress of Leiden was built. A well was standing in the middle of the fortress. For the installation a microphone, a loudspeaker and a camera were installed on the bottom of the well, the camera focused to the top. In the gallery a table was installed with a monitor, a chair and a microphone so the public in the gallery could watch and talk to the people looking down in the well.
