Nachtplaats

a performative installation

In the forest, one hour before sunset:
On the ground, within a square of 4 to 4 meters,
Four persons take away leaves, branches and layers of soil.
All material is put into numbered white bags and then carried away, out of the forest.

At sunset (21.23 hrs) the forest is deserted.
An empty dark square between the trees.

At sunrise (05.48 hrs) the four persons return, carrying white bags.

Using photographic prints as a reference, the square is restored to its original shape.

We were silent for silence itself.
