Construction Rubble of TENT's Central Space, TENT Rotterdam 2011

"Construction Rubble of TENT's Central Space, TENT Rotterdam" (2011) by Lara Almarcegui is a site-specific installation that transforms a gallery space into a landscape of construction debris. By using discarded materials from the construction of the building, Almarcegui confronts viewers with the overlooked remnants of urban development. The piles of gravel and sand create a visual tension between the natural and the artificial, prompting reflections on the relationship between human intervention and the environment. The work is a powerful example of Almarcegui's conceptual approach to sculpture, where materials and their context become the primary focus of artistic expression.
