ENCI Panoramic view Europe

At the beginning of last century, when ENCI started its activities to produce cement, a route linking Maastricht (NL) to Liège (BE) had to be interrupted due to the limestone extraction. Now with the ‘transformation plan of the ENCI-area’, this historic route will be restored thanks an 40 meters high stair between Saint Peters Mountain and the quarry. At the top of the mountain a spectacular view point will offer visitors stunning views over the quarry. This beautiful project was realized with the support and  contributions of various European partners. I was asked to mark the inauguration of the staircases and the panoramic view. For me this was a re-concilliation, re-establishment between two cities, the city of Maastricht and te city of Liège. I designed a ritualistic para-industrial procession with a small marching band, three dancers and 5 weather balloons
