Together with a morphologist, we retrieved an undisturbed core sample. We went five meters into the ground, right through all the layers of clay and peat to the sand wedges of the last ice age, some 12,000 years ago. We analyzed the soil and translated this into a design reflecting the earth that carries us. Together with the residents of the multicultural district of Lombok, we tufted a carpet in an open studio. Because thread connects. To create new ground under our feet to meet on. To question that very ground. The core sample is exhibited on the Westplein and the carpet, exactly as long as the sample core is deep, is currently on display in the Stadsklooster.
