The Engineer’s Bedroom, Brutus, Rotterdam (NL)
News
‘Disco Inferno’ is a never-ending Gesamtkunstwerk that is constantly evolving: its latest development is The Engineer’s Bedroom or ‘Joep’s underbelly’ which will open to the public June 23rd at Brutus.
This addition to the installation is where the engineer of ‘Disco Inferno’ lives in his work, creates his inventions and sits at his drawing board and workshop to build his dreams. This ‘‘underbelly’’ is equipped with brand new, cheap tools, marching soldiers from China and a state-of-the-art laboratory fully equipped to grow medicinal mushrooms, to create tinctures, pills and healing ointments. This is the engineers sacred dream space that includes a video-cage-bed with images of his demolition activities. This ‘‘underbelly’’ may be seen as a portrait of the artist’s.
