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.

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.

I designed a ritualistic para-industrial procession with a small marching band, three dancers and 5 weather balloons
