Wandering Off details the works of Antwerp-based artist Lara Dhondt, whose artistic process comprises various stages of documentation. Plotting the location of her public sculptures on Google Maps, the sites of her creations and her photography can be traced via the internet coordinates as well as physical maps. Dhondt’s approach to working is both methodical and creative, the art itself occurring exclusively in outdoor, public spaces, and her process of documentation stylistically similar to movements such as land art and conceptual art of the late 60s and 70s. Constructed based on the dimensions of personal space, these demarcations and sculptures assume the form of nomadic symbols and serve as a monument to temporariness.
