About Imagination and Reality Yllustraasje

Dizze grutte raamstiker yllustreart wêr't werklikheid en ferbylding gearkomme om in yndruk te skeppen fan it libben fan in yndividu nei in medyske yngripe. De yllustraasje kleeft oan it glês oan 'e binnenkant fan dit yndrukwekkende gebou en hat in hichte fan mear as 10.000mm. Dit keunstwerk is makke mei tagonklikheid yn gedachten. It keunstwerk is yn in raamromte ynstallearre omdat raamromtes tagonklik binne om fan bûten it gebou te besjen. Dêrtroch kinne minsken fan it publyk dy't de ôfbylding besjen yn har auto bliuwe as harren fysike beheiningen dat fereaskje.
