Artwork Vlaardingen

Vlaardingen, like many municipalities in the Netherlands, is many meters below sea level. What’s the children’s perspective on this  question of the future: ‘How can you live with water?’. Will you put on a very long snorkel at the dining table, will Vlaardingen become a floating island or will you tie the city behind a rocket and move to the moon? Behind the windows of the city on legs you will find a number of scenes that were devised in a ‘Kite Education’ workshop.
