Making Time

The Artists Collective Krot & Co from Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands,  works on installation art at specific places.

From 22 March till 20 May the Collective shows a big colourful installation titled “Making Time” at the Keukenhof , Lisse.

This work of art is composed of a large quantity of colourful synthetic forms originating from machinery of a former sweets factory. The colours bear resemblance with the natural display of colour of the Keukenhof.

The work of art depicts the timemachine that in an endlessly driving stream of sound pushes time on and on. In this stream of sound you can hear historical fragments. Some of them aretaken from Dutch History (Queen Wilhelmina, Queen Juliana, Prime Minister Den Uyl, the Flood, train hijack, etc.), others are from International  History (like speeches by Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, Churchill, Mandela, Lumumba, Stalin and many more).

Using a special keyboard visitors themselves can influence this stream of time by adding sounds or drowning the timemachine.
