EXbunker / Mart Pool – Er ligt een Monster in Onze straat
In the work ‘Er ligt een Monster in Onze straat’, Mart Pool explores how we as humans deal with the unknown and the polarization to which this leads. Within the installation, we see 2 screens/projections depicting different streets. In the middle of these screens, a monster about 3 meters long lies between the paving stones. As the monster takes its final breaths, it is judged by the people in the streets. One street feels some sympathy for the monster. And the other would rather have the monster gone. By standing on different sides of the monster as a visitor, you discover different perspectives and thus form your own. Through detail and a specific visual language, Mart tries to draw you into his world and hopes to give the visitor the feeling that they, too, are residents of the street. Oh, and 'the superhero' also plays a role!
In Er ligt een Monster in Onze straat, Mart Pool explores how people respond to the unknown and the division it evokes, through an installation centered on a dying monster in which visitors experience different perspectives. In this way, they themselves become part of the story and of the street.
