Imagine a mountain in the midst of a polder in the Netherlands. The horizontal interjected with the vertical. Flatness disrupted by height. It is an amalgam of landscapes, plants and animals. This fantasy is not as delirious as it may seem, given how the Dutch are preoccupied with designing and moulding their environment, working with and against the ever-present water. The Dutch Mountain pushes this belief in design and control into new territory. It plays with the fine line between fiction and reality and comments on the creation of adventurous yet riskless leisure scapes. The Dutch Mountain is a realistic science fiction, assembled out of fragments of inhabited landscapes* and conversations with experts in the field.
