Big Bench Torhout - a place to listen and look
At the edge of the Torwoud, close to The Witch Trail in Groenhove Forest in Torhout, you will find a special place: the Big Bench. A bench that invites you to pause for a moment, and now also to listen and look. Scan the QR code next to the Big Bench and discover something new every day.
Find the Big BenchMusic that moves with the place
Through the QR code at the bench, you enter a changing world of sound and image. Each day opens something different: a melody, a mood, a small musical story. Sometimes light and playful, sometimes slow and dreamlike, always connected to the nature around you. As if the water, the trees and the air are whispering along.
In collaboration with KATZ
This project was created in collaboration with the visual arts classes of KATZ. The students searched for images that connect with the place, the music and the moment. No fixed answers, but impressions. No explanation, but imagination. Their work invites you to look and listen differently.
A place in motion
The Big Bench is not a fixed artwork, but a place that keeps changing. Over time, the sounds, images and combinations shift. Whoever returns will discover something new each time: another atmosphere, another color, another piece of the story.
With thanks to
With the support of the City of Torhout and thanks to the collaboration with KATZ, this place took shape. A meeting between music, image and nature - for everyone who wants to slow down for a moment.
