Me, myself and us
Art installation consisting of 6753 white apping glow in the dark garden gnomes, carousel - Work in progress
From a distance ‘Me, myself and us’ is like a fairytale in forest. The soft glowing of the white objects covering the carousel like clams cover a rock in the ocean, give the spectator a feeling of wonder. However, getting closer, the self absorbed gnomes are smothering the carousel with their combined egocentrism leaving no room for the nostalgic past.
The idea initially popped up early 2010, resulting in some first sketches and renders that were quite well received on social media by blogs like Mocoloco. However, it took another five years to fine-tune the details and get the team operational to start realising this installation. Me, myself and us is submitted to premier at the Amsterdam Light festival 2016.
Work in progress
The artist is currently working hard on realising this object. 3D renders and designs have been made, prototyping is done in China and the first samples of the garden gnomes are currently moulded. In December 2015 the first batch of 2500 gnomes arrived in Holland for quality control, after which the production will start in 2016 and 2017.
