Episode 5: Samira Boon - 10.800 horizons (EN)

Even if you're at Schiphol for a connecting flight and won't leave the airport, you can still get acquainted with the vastness of the wide and flat Dutch polder landscape thanks to textile architect Samira Boon's '10.800 Horizons'. This 26-metre-long artwork can be found along Holland Boulevard.


In this episode, Boon talks about what you need to consider when installing such a large textile landscape at Schiphol, how you make something new from something existing and much more.
