Waterlijn
- Bastiaan van AarlePublished by SO-RI, Antwerp, 2021.
RISO printed in Black and Blue.
18 x 24cm, 14 pages.
Bastiaan uses his imagines what it would be like if the water level were to rise by 65m. What impact would it have on people’s lifes? Would nature thrive or would people conquer the water? These are questions that pop up in his mind when making this work.
The water level would rise by 65m if all ice on earth would melt. Belgium would become a surreal collection of islands.
Photography might not be able to capture what Bastiaan imagines, but he visually suggests it. A subtle blue line invades the image and transports you to another world, a world which isn’t visible, but might become a reality.
