Where are we? We are in a magical building…

Here, the elevators go up and down by themselves and they decide where to stop. You can only change floors with the elevators, so you can’t be in a hurry!
This building is called the Tower of Babel. A place where nowadays art is the Lord. Artists work and exhibit here and they can totally understand each other. Even though they might use different dialects, the common language is the same; their wish to express themselves, their thoughts and reflections on the world around us.

Once in a while the elevator stops at the 13th floor. There you find yourself in another world with a different smell, sound and color. A unique piece of nature in the centre of Utrecht. A beach at the same height as where the birds fly.
When you close your eyes it is as if you are on a beach. You take a big breath and you can actually smell the salty air of the ocean and hear the sound of waves and if you take your shoes off, you touch the sand and shells with your feet. It’s almost real.

As you open your eyes again, you discover that the reality is different. You are on your own beach high in the air and you see how the city lives far below you. Trains, boats, cars and bikes are crawling. People of all cultures are passing below you. You are out of the composition, you are in another space. You finally get a chance to slow down and think…

After this experience you will look at the city from a different perspective. You leave your footprint in the sand and depart from the beach by elevator...
