Can someone explain? Antwerpen Middelheim

  1. Middelheim is full of art. This is probably just another artistic piece that the park has to offer. 🙂

  2. You could say that because it is in the Middelheim Park, that it is a form of art.Another possibility is that Joke Schauvliege believed that broken branches can grow back through Bluetooth connection. In doing so, she then demonstrates that she is wise enough to realize that the branch must hang at the proper height.

  3. Tbh I really like this as an art piece. Like, it’s a pretty basic/heavy handed metaphor, but the execution is really nice and I think we can all immediately think of some situation or experience we’ve had in the past that felt like this.

  4. The greenkeepers were instructed by the community to cut down the branches. However the city decided that the trees must grow large branches for more greenery. This compromise was a result of a three week negotiation between all parties involved

  5. I do like how it is set up with the growth of the tree in mind. The long bolts can be unscrewed over the years to accommodate for the trunk getting larger. It’s not perfect but by the time it reaches its limits that branch it’s holding wil be gone.

  6. It’s the floral representation of Homer Simpson strangling Bart while yelling “why you little”?

  7. Given my experience with *git*, this would illustrate a merge conflict between a side branch and the master branch.
