In a wall with a bricked-up window on the corner building of the Folkingestraat in Groningen, Gert Sennema placed a door with a hard stone step in front of it. Nothing special in itself. However, the door lacks a door handle, a way to be opened.
Behind this closed door and window lies the history of the Folkingestraat. A history that only a few can retell, because most of the people who once lived there were taken away during the Second World War.
It looks as if the door is made of solid wood, but on closer inspection it turns out to be made of bronze. Sennema treated it with patina, which evokes the structure and color of wood.
