4 Conservation and preservation strategies

In Voorstelling there are many different objects, and some of these are very small. The original objects have to be conserved and preserved from decay or deterioration. Even the smallest objects, already damaged or old, like the ones placed on the wooden shelf, need to be preserved and handled with care. The current condition of the objects in Voorstelling is to be considered as the optimum condition. It is this condition and appearance that is to be preserved in the future. The objects look dirty – some in particular –- and old, but their state is stable and their image is perfectly in line with the artist’s will.
