About "Sunset at the 'steenmannetje' in Mariakerke-Bad"

About the artwork

The golden hour is there; the beach, the sea about everything wears a warm golden glow. On the beach, it is slowly getting dark. At the 'stone man' or Pillage of the Sea by Rosa Barba, a fisherman sits. Parents are still playing with their children in the late evening sun.

According to VisitOstend's website, 'stone men' have adorned our landscape since time immemorial. They appear as stacked stones; turrets as handy anchor points for lost hikers. In different cultures, they have spiritual significance.

Rosa Barba imitates the stones by casting them in concrete in textiles with which Barba creates a kind of imaginary dam against the future rise of the sea level.

Here, each stone symbolises a city whose fate is at the mercy of climate change.

The title Pillage of the Sea - literally translated as 'plunder by the sea' - refers to a poem by Emily Dickinson. The sea made it impossible for her to produce any more words, thus literally pillaging her of her words. At the same time, it evokes an impossible notion of a plunder of the sea that belongs to no one.

This text is largely from the website of: https://www.visitoostende.be/nl/beaufort-pillage-sea where you can read the full story.
