Bjergtrolde / 2016
In May 2016 I was invited to document several giant footprints that appeared outside the city of Herzele (Belgium). After being called upon by the mayor to conduct a cryptozoological survey, I was able to determine that these belong to Trollius Montis, a rare species of hill and mountain trolls. A further investigation is underway at this moment.
The size of the footprints: 8 meters long, 3 meters at their maximum width.
"Bjergtrolde" land art project (developed: May - June 2016, permanently on view until the eventual deterioration), supported by Prof. Christel Stalpaert (KASK, Ghent) and Jan Hermans (presented alongside Sarah Foque's project from De Wattenfabriek), ARPIA - art with landscape, Herzele, Belgium (special thanks: European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen / East Flanders Province, the city of Herzele, KASK - Royal Academy of Fine Arts Ghent & Ghent University; project planned between 2015 and 2016)
