this wooden tower by boonserm premthada emits ancient bell sounds across bruges

Premthada's 'Balance' installation at Triennale Brugge 2024 symbolizes harmony in the midst of various city disparities: old and new, local and tourist, culture and history, manmade and natural creations.

The Tower of Balance, designed with ivory-colored wood, features an 18-meter high structure with a spiral staircase leading to a bell, offering views of Bruges landmarks while paying homage to the city's historical architectural roots.

Premthada's intentional decision to keep his installation outside Bruges' old town highlights the importance of respecting the densely populated area, a world heritage site with beauty and history that should be preserved.
