Description:
When creating their multimedia installation for the Garden Gallery at Kasteel het Nijenhuis Yuri Honing and Mariecke van der Linden drew inspiration from the literary figure Bluebeard. In Charles Perrault?s original tale of 1697 the wealthy and terrifying Bluebeard forbids his new bride from entering his secret chamber. But her curiosity gets the better of her and upon entering the forbidden room she discovers the bodies of six dead women. Bluebeard catches her red-handed, and threatens to kill her, too, just like her predecessors.00Down the centuries, this has been used as a cautionary tale, to warn young people against disobedience and curiosity. But how is it possible to achieve anything without taking risks?00Exhibition: Museum De Fundatie, locatie Kasteel Het Nijenhuis, Wijhe, The Netherlands (03.05.-04.09.2022)
