‘Waker, Slaper, Dromer’ (Watcher, Sleeper, Dreamer)

New website for ‘Waker, Slaper, Dromer’ (Watcher, Sleeper, Dreamer), a series of three walks named after the poetic names and functions of dike systems in the Netherlands. Here, the ‘watcher’ protects against the outside water first, and the inland ‘sleeper’ catches any breach. Behind this sleeper sometimes lies another ‘dreamer.’

These walks are organized by artist Marjolijn Dijkman as part of her WaterLANDS artist residency (2023-2026). She reflects on ecological restoration and depoldering in the context of the Ems-Dollard estuary and surrounding landscape in the North of the Netherlands.
