“Olympia is a computer-generated replica of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, which finds itself in a time-space devoid of human intervention and entrusted to the cycles of nature. Following the original building theory, in which the stadium’s own decay has been pre-incorporated, Olympia invokes a precise cycle of creation to dissolution to rebuilding.” Artist’s statement
One of my main tasks as a technical assistant for acclaimed visual artist David Claerbout is to help him guide and manage the Olympia project and its future evolution over the years. This work has been installed and exhibited in many locations, such as the MNAC in Barcelona and M HKA in Antwerp.
