The Appointment

Renowned for his unconventional, large scale works, artist Ralf Witthaus now plans to bore a hole into the ground, starting from his hometown in Germany all the way to New Zealand. Turning the oft curious childhood question of “Where will I come out if I dig a hole through the earth?” into a reality, Witthaus employs the same artistic intervention found in his previous lawnshows. Started in 2012 with a vote on Facebook for the best place in Eastern Westfalia to start to bore, Witthaus reveals the unique architectural layouts of New Zealand and Germany’s region East Westphalia.
