Balans, een kunstwerk van Bart Ensing boven de Zavelput

Balance shows the fragile balance that exists in nature and between man and nature.

Balance (2024)

My installation Balance at Nature Art Halle. Six branches, made heavier on the broad end, belancing on each other, on a pole, high above the Zavelput, a deep pit. A seemingly impossible balance. My first version collapsed, the second did not work, the third was a great succes. Until the last day I did not know whether I would be able to present my work, or whether I would fail.

It’s like I wrote in my text: We are playin a dangerous game with the earth, the balance of the Earth and nature. I also played a game, but it was a joyfull one. It might have been possible that I went beyond the tipping point, and visitors would be looking at the remains of what once was. But I succeeded! I made the seemingly impssible. I am happy and proud!
