Imagine, it’s a drizzly Tuesday morning and you’re in a hurry. You have to catch a train. As you cross the Westplein, right next to the Utrecht Central Station, the wind plays with the litter. Or maybe you’re walking your dog. This is not really a place where you want to stay for a while, it’s the ultimate anti-oasis.

But once upon a time it was different. At the invitation of the Gemene Grond foundation, we created the work ‘GrondStof’, which would translate loosely as Re:Source. For a month we worked from Perron West, a train carriage in the middle of this traffic square. This used to be a wilderness. The river Rhine meandered across the square. There was even a time without people.
