It is not without humour that Fernando Sánchez Castillo (b. 1970, Madrid) works with history, namely Franco’s dictatorship in Spain, but also many other aspects of it. He is interested in how history is established, and the role memory and forgetting play in this process. At the heart of this practice is the notion of monument. For the Dräi Eechelen Park, whose origins date back to the seventeenth-century fortifications designed by Vauban, Sánchez Castillo reappropriates a bust of one of Vauban’s contemporaries, King Philip V of Spain (b. 1683, Versailles – d. 1746, Madrid), who was also Duke of Luxembourg from 1700 to 1712. The artist has, with deliberate disrespect, hijacked its original function as a commemorative monument. Using an internal mechanism consisting of an Archimedes screw, this Bird Feeder distributes seeds and highlights the unique relationship birds have with public monuments, by settling on them, picking grains, sullying the patina of the bronze and thus contributing to the fertilisation of the surrounding park.
