Galerie Caroline O'Breen
Hazenstraat 54
1016 SR Amsterdam
The sound of night falling in the other room is a solo exhibition by Bart Lunenburg at Galerie Caroline O'Breen, featuring new photographs, sculptures and a new research publication that weave together diverse European timber traditions and hidden wooden constructions in contemporary cityscapes.
One of the series on view is Oever (2025-26) in which Lunenburg examines the accumulation of building layers underneath the houses in Amsterdam's oldest streets. These originally medieval wooden houses had to be demolished and rebuilt over time, because they sank into the marshy peat. The foundations of one house remained to serve as a support for the next and - together with millions of wooden stilts - they are still forming the foundations for daily life in the city. The intertwined structures of oakwood in this series form a sculptural interpretation of the first medieval wooden houses on the banks of the Amstel River, and are a testimony to these many 'houses in houses' that Amsterdam buildings carry within themselves.
