A reflection of the past in the present can be seen on the site of the former Zandrinkermolen in Leusden. It is part of the triptych REVU, an artork by André Pielage. The artist connects a hidden archaeological monument, via a line of sight in the landscape, with the former Zandbrinkermolen. The striking artwork makes the history visible to a wide audience and is a visual booster to tell the many stories.
Across the street from farm Groot Zandbrink at Leusden, an oval-shaped hill with an enigmatic history is visible. Visual artist André Pielage was asked by Vallei Horstee to create a work of art for this hill and the location of the former Zandbrinkermolen that makes the cultural history visible and tangible. On the dark gray silo, the contours of the Zandbrinkermolen and the landscape are executed in a reflective artwork by Andre Pielage. The clouds are reflected in the artwork and make the past and present come together.
Iwaarden is responsible for digitizing the design, devising and elaborating the production process, milling the mirrored panel material, plotting stencils for assembly and mounting the mirror parts on the building. The two silo walls of fifteen by fifteen meters are covered by Iwaarden with twelve hundred reflective parts. These puzzle pieces together form the silhouette of the Zandbrinkermolen and the landscape. The reflection of the ever-changing sky in the artwork makes it part of the landscape.

No one has ever made such a large mirror work on a facade before. Iwaarden came up with a very clever solution. In addition, they have the knowledge to apply and deliver the work in a good way. It has been a fantastic match!
