GOEDENDAG / ONE HOT BLUE BALL (Prologue), 2007
Triptych: nine photographs of intervention (Prologue), Performance (Masterplan) and Tattoo (Epilogue)
The demolishing of De Groots former house (see Motel Nooitgedacht) led to this special project in three parts.
After De Groot left the house which was soon to be demolished and boarded up with wooden plates to prevent people to enter the house. For the prologue of GOEDENDAG/ONE HOT BLUE BALL, De Groot used his circle saw to make saw cuts in the wood that covered the windows.
Together with photographer Johannes Schwartz he documented this intervention in nine photographs from both the inside and the outside of the house. The daylight shimmered through the cuts, revealing the empty rooms. At night the opposite effect was created by placing artificial lights in the house, re-enacting the life that once was.
