An unusual outcome
After riots in Amsterdam between two groups, there was an unusual outcome. The provocateurs went free and those who were provoked received heavy prison sentences. The issue divided society. So it was time for connectivity.
I invited passersby to join me in creating The (Living) Statue of Connectivity. Together, using this staff and the presence of others, I expressed my wish for a colorful and connected society. People aged 17 to 96 stepped onto the pedestal. A week and a half later, I received this fanmail:
Hey Frank, My brothers and I were on holiday last week visiting Amsterdam where we crossed paths and took a photo with you. Your concept was so unique and different to us that we keep talking about it afterwards. I then thought, let me look up statue of connectivity Amsterdam and to my surprise your website showed up. Thank you for being kind and passing on the message of connectivity and diversity. Best, Jairo (brown jacket)
