DZIA

Liniestraat owes its name to the Linie van de Vucht, a defensive structure that formed part of a network of seven lines between Breda and Geertruidenberg in the early 18th century. Artist DZIA breathes new life into the walls of Linie with a series of monumental facade sculptures in which fauna and landscape converge. The animals, plants, and insects he depicts refer to the unique history of the line’s origins and the crucial role water played as a means of defense. The selected species—the wolf, spoonbill, curlew, lapwing, common snipe, barn swallow, and skylark – form a cohesive visual whole that unfolds across the various buildings.
