To live in a painting
All works by Mariël van den Eerenbeemt
I was wondering how it would be to sit in a painting. So i built a painted room for an exhibition at De Fabriek in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. During tree weeks people could see my painting continuously changing. It was very exciting to see the furniture dissolve into the ‘painting'.
It was allowed for visitors to enter the painting, They could sit down and have a drink. Some people started to sing or dance, someone was playing the trumpet.
This experience has influenced my work enormously.
