Barbara Smeenk: fire brigade building Leidschenveen
Donau 140, Leidschenveen
Barbara Smeenk was commissioned to create a work of art for the new
building of the fire brigade in Leidschenveen. She made a transparant
photo measuring 188 cm x 232 cm in the glass entrance door and directly
behind it on the wall (at a distance of 2 meters) she added another photo
measuring 200 x 300 cm. When entering the building the second photo is
visible through the first photo in the glass door.
The theme of the first photo is 'fire' (a symbol for energy, courage,
masculinity and renewal). The theme of the second photo is 'water'
(emotions, feelings, love, femininity and harmony).
