About The Artwork
Harry Schumacher was invited for a symposium in Trstenice in the Czech Republic. The village stretches along a small, partly dry river in an oblong valley. The East/West trade route that should have gone through the village is the starting point of the artwork. In a graphic sense a trade route is the connection in two directions between two points. The work consists of two V-shaped riverdelta's like two turned away arrows, which only touch in one place. In a riverdelta the water searches its way from high to low. The liquid in the artwork flows against the current. The area is the center of water flowing in two opposite directions, to the Baltic Sea and to the Black Sea. The map forms the Czech Republic, still struggling between East and West. I choose to make the work of art on location and made every day the trip through the village with a trolley to get into contact with the people as a part of the artwork.

Netherlands
Harry Schumacher makes both 3D installations and 2D work as mixed media on felt in lead. In both 2D and 3D work an alternative world is created in which the same elements return in multiple works. When man looks at nature it will always be from the point of view of mankind with a hidden agenda. We see nature as a laboratory for our own needs. We only want to preserve nature if it is not to our disadvantage. (The colour of) blood is used, because for us it is a sign of alarm. The strange combination of the blood and the trees means that we are not capable of determining the wound.
