The Tenant

Ask anything

  • Monika asked

    Is the Bunker real Ort a Video Art construct?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi Monika,

    The abandoned house in which the soap bubble floats is plausibly real. What is certainly confusing is the bubble and the feeling of unpredictability that pervades every second of the video. Such an ordinary place in which something bewildering and unexpected is happening.
    How does watching this video art make you feel?

    Best, Mara
