ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Focus on Imagination’ is a work created as part of the art manifestation ‘Myths of Nature’, which aimed to bring art into direct dialogue with the natural world. During this event, fifteen monumental works of art were installed along a scenic route through the National Park Drents-Friese Wold in the Netherlands. The project highlighted the interconnectedness of art, nature, and society, all while raising awareness of the crucial importance of preserving nature.

The installation included four monumental photographs printed on canvas, displayed in a watchtower situated on the edge of a vast sand drift. These pinhole images were inspired by the way children perceive nature, full of wonder and imagination.

The photographs were designed to interact with the surrounding environment, creating a unique viewing experience. The images draw the viewer’s attention to the natural landscape, encouraging them to look at the world through fresh eyes.

Visitors were invited to look at the area with new eyes, to marvel, and allow their own imagination to shape their experience of the surroundings.
