Zuidas Blocks, performance

In Zuidas there are architecturally renowned office buildings, great public facilities and interesting art pieces… but no children are to be seen. Children, however are an essential part of our society and economy.  Zuidas Blocks will enable children to play a role in Amsterdam’s business center. An international group of toddlers in ties, symbolizing the economic world, will play with colorfully decorated miniature office buildings in the center of Zuidas. These model office buildings are made from discarded product packaging. Original logos have been incorporated in Inatome’s micro-world, mimicking the billboards and business names of the adult world. However, in this little economy everything is recycled. The entire performance brings into question the future influence of the youngest generation.
