:: Diggin' for Gordon
On 20 feb 2006 DDV started digging a hole at an unknown location. It is a tribute to Gordon Matta-Clark who made his last monumental work "Office Baroque" in Antwerp. The diggin' action is visible 24 hours a day through a webcam.
To shed some light in the Hole he is digging for Gordon, DDV is making a remix of Dan Flavin's "Icon IV". A row of florescent lights accompanies "Dan Flavin Descending Steps for Gordon in Hell.
