VIUNAP / Nick Ervinck (BE)
The EGATONK project was developed for the exhibition Horizon 8300 in Knokke, promoting new architecture for this Belgian seaside town.Nick Ervinck was invited to contribute an artwork to the exhibition. As a starting point Nick Ervinck uses traditional cottages, which he turns into absurd buildings. The cottages become figures with connotations to crabs and other sea animals that walk along the beach, resembling the impossible structures in the engravings of the mathematician Escher (1898-1972).
