Art project: Wooden Dimensions

In old China an artwork was kept in a safe place and it was only showed on special occasions. And because the artwork was only viewed once in while, it kept it’s capacity to trigger a refreshing experience. This idea appealed to me, and as such, it became the foundation of the Wooden Dimensions Project.
I also wanted to question the well known taboo that art shouldn’t be touched. Especially for three dimensional art, it’s an important part of the experience to feel an artwork. Since the visitor can play around with the doors, it is possible to change the look of the artwork.
Below, you find videos of the individual artworks.
