The beautiful avenue in the Molenbos near Ypres is a picturesque route lined with tall, stately trees. The filtered sunlight falls softly on the path and creates an almost magical atmosphere that is ideal for a quiet walk.

Coming World Remember Me Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The new land art installation 'CWRM' is the follow-up to the temporary installation by Koen Vanmechelen and curator Jan Moeyaert (vzw art) that was on display on the domain in 2018. The exhibition '600,000 statues – 600,000 names' was developed within 'CWRM', a reference to the number of victims of the First World War on Belgian soil.
With this permanent installation of the same name, the Province and Koen Vanmechelen want to give the victims a definitive place in our history, our present and our future.
Central to this installation is the large egg from which the figurines roll. This in an organic way, almost like during birth. The sculptures are the children of a torn world. The whole forms the world map, with all continents connected to each other. The statues themselves form the base. They support each other, stand on each other's shoulders, the big ones support the little ones.
