Fenix 2 Sentry (UF 170)

Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Katendrecht, Paul Nijghkade, Fenix 2, Urban restructering, Urban revitalization, Model (uncut)

 

In front of the old and to be redeveloped Fenix 2 veem, 4 'sentries' are placed, each with its own attire. This one has a big beak that made me remember the big, herbes filled black beaks the doctors of the middleages, still close to the shamanistic roots of the profession, used who treated the victims of the black Plague to ward the fatal disease off.

The sentry possibly helped to ward of some aspects of gentrification - the users ( Posse, Fenix Food Factory and Codarts and the Rotterdam Kindercircus) will be enabled to return when the transformation of Finex 2 is completed. Let's hope that the rent isn't prohibitive high, like that of the redeveloped Mercado do Bom Sucesso in Porto. Check out its story: here..

 

This is number 15 of the Schaufensterpuppen album here.
