Cataract Gorge
A wooden recontruction of a typical Bruges Gothic brick house calmly floats on the water of the canals when a storm suddenly breaks out, stirring the water up into churning rapids.
The storm is a spectacle that fires the imagination. But it is also a powerful metaphor for change. A cataract as rapids that literally collide with this other meaning of the word cataract: a calcified lens that blurs our vision. And that poses the question tempestuously loud: what will happen to this city if the forces of time were to violently question the ideology of conservation and restoration? What is Bruges to do with its memory if it is brutally shaken up?
(From the Triennale's short guide)
Location: The basin at Sasplein street near the Dampoort (Dam Gate).
In the background, one can see the tower of the Grootseminarie (Major Seminary)
