Market Hall IV
(Dutch: Markthal) The building is a residential and office building with a market hall underneath. The ceiling is adorned with an 11.000 m2 artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, named Hoorn des Overvloeds (Horn of Plenty). The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects.
The work was made using digital 3D-techniques. This enormous file needed special servers, which are also used for making animated movies. The digital 3D-animation was separated in 4000 pieces and then printed on perforated aluminum panels. The 4000 aluminum panels are now on the inside of the hall.
