INSTALLATIONS

The art installation "Familycircle" by Edith Bons, presented during the exhibition Artparade in the Prinsenhof museum, is an intriguing and emotionally charged work that invites the viewer to think about family, identity and togetherness. This installation, built from a circle of woks filled with grains of rice, creates a visual and tactile spectacle that stimulates the senses. The woks, as everyday kitchen utensils, symbolise the connection between generations within a family. They remind us of the shared meals and the traditions that are passed on from parents to children. The grains of rice, a universal symbol of food and life, reinforce this message of connectedness and nourishment. Each wok stands as an individual unit, but together they form a close circle, which emphasises the strength of family ties. The choice for a circular arrangement evokes a sense of inclusivity and equality, where everyone can identify with the elements in the installation. The installation "Familiecircle" is not only a visual work of art, but also an invitation to dialogue and interaction. It offers a space for contemplation on the role of the family in our lives and the ways in which we cherish and maintain these relationships. In the Prinsenhof Museum, this installation is given a special context, which contributes to its depth and meaning within the broader art exhibition Artparade.FAMILYCIRCLE ⌀2.60m.
