From up to Down is a site-specific installation made exclusively for Kunsthall Rotterdam. It is a recreation of a space which the artist discovered during his search for deserted places that are in danger of being demolished, renovated or forgotten. He has not created a stage set, but rather a fleeting, naive interpretation of the space. The space is strongly reminiscent of a post-earthquake scene with its inherent danger of asbestos due to the friction of crumbling building materials. Van Wolputte has often referred to this fact in his work. The crack in the front wall functions as the entrance to the space. This crack continues on in the ceiling and into the spaces elevated wooden floor.
