Rustplaats (Bridges) is a cross-cultural ritualistic passage music composed for ‘Rustplaats’ by Maurice Meewisse. The track was played in a loop on the site of the land-art work and intended to both guide people through the 300+ wooden stools and invite them to stay and listen, reflecting the meaning of a (final) resting place during the Artborne memorial walk 2024.
