The one and the many (3) (UF 88)
Netherlands, Rotterdam, Heijplaat, RDM, RDM Campus, Onderzeebootloods, The one and the many exposition
Shot during a visit to the Elmgreem & Dragset exposition The one and the many with Leun.
"Elmgreen (Denmark, 1961) and Dragset (Norway, 1969) have created a vast exhibition featuring a specially designed block of flats, an abandoned funfair ride and numerous other elements. The exhibition ‘The One & The Many’ transforms the 5000m2 former Submarine Wharf into a deprived neighbourhood with a sinister atmosphere. These are the fringes of society: a tough underworld with dubious characters and shocking activities."
The Onderzeebootloods once was part of the RDM wharf on Heijplaat. Until 1994 submarines were built here. After years of dereliction and mixed use it's (temporarily) used as museum space by the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen. Part of the wharf is still used industrially and the major part (the administration building, and two large former production halls are redeveloped as the RDM Campus with the Port of Rotterdam (Havenbedrijf) Hogeschool Rotterdam and the Albedacollege as prime movers.
The ferriswheel depicted here strikes a strange and alienating pose against the industrial roof of the Onderzeebootloods.
This is #88 of the Urban Frontiers set.
