Haagse Kunstenaars

The original artwork consisted of distilled seawater and extracted sea salt, which the artists collected at four points on the beach in Scheveningen, the Netherlands, during the residency program at Badgast. In the presentation, the salt was displayed in four specimen dishes and behind that was water stored in four bottles. The accident took place during the opening as someone placed a wine glass on the shelf on which the work was displayed. It fell to the ground, and the work was completely destroyed. When I witnessed the incident, I was occupied with repairing broken objects. So I kept the shards and promised the artists to repair their work. It is also an homage to the numerous coincidences I have had through the Repairing Earthquake Project, which I have been working on since 2011, soon after I encountered the fallen artwork.

All names from my memory were assembled
