About the artwork
A look at an outbuilding of an abandoned coalmine in Belgium.
This coalmine was the most important mine in the area and had 4 mining shafts.
The first shaft was dug in 1850 for coal mining. After an accident in 1877 the mine closed for the first time. It was reopened thirty years later, in 1907, to remain in operation until 1977.
After the closure in 1977 a part was demolished and the remains of the mine were held by another owner who wanted to keep the mine as complete as possible. However, he died in 2012, after which the mine came again to the municipality.
Since then, the terrain and buildings have been taken back by nature and are becoming increasingly desolate and more dangerous.
