Our society is rapidly moving away from a way of life in which nature was completely interwoven into everyday existence. In our contemporary lifestyle, nature is often experienced as something outside ourselves, outside our daily lives.

In my graduation project, I looked for ways to restore this alienated relationship with nature by activating the landscape recreationally. The former neighbourhood railway Zwarte Jean was built at a time when slowness still had to be inevitably accepted as part of the journey.

The former Zwarte Jean tramway is therefore used as a slowing force, to activate a conscious experience of nature and landscape, as an invitation to people to let the landscape they live in become part of who they are again.
