The Wedding by Sonja van Kerkhoff, 2004 Made at the 2004 9 Dragonheads Environment Arts Symposium around Daechang Lake (a nature reserve about 2 hours south of Seoul), South Korea. Responding to the festival theme of Beautiful Garbage, I went for a walk around the lake. I decided to hung my 8 metres of white silk onto this "art garbage". This boat form is a "leftover" of an unfinished artist from a previous festival. Retha an artist from South Africa also responded to this "leftover" by making a "tail" of branches that lead to her work beyond. I decided that my hanging or decorating was like marrying the "leftover" with the silk, and decided that a decorative approach was a good one for the idea of "beauty" and hence the title: The Wedding. The decorative aspect of a marriage. Then a day earlier while walking with Park, the festival co-ordinator, we came across a couple having their wedding photos taken in front of this work! We then asked them to pose for us. You see the branches on the lower right of the dress. It seemed like the icing on the cake :) Other "Land art related" works Inland Soul at Sea, also installed during the 9 Dragonheads festival.
