For the first edition of Stadsstukken we designed the public installation Maanvloed. The installation is inspired by the fascinating idea that something ‘extraterrestrial’ such as the moon influences the water level in the Nieuwe Maas. Due to the gravity of the moon, the tide of the river rises and falls creating ebb and flood. This extraterrestrial gravity has an influence on our landscape and the city of Rotterdam. The astronomical tide is a natural power that could also be seen as a constructor that creates the city’s landscape.
