The Baron van Wassenaerpark in Bennekom is named after the owner of this land before World War II. When the German occupier built the A12 motorway right through his landscaped garden, the baron decided to transfer the section south of the motorway to the local community, on the condition that the land would permanently house healthcare facilities. Shortly thereafter, the regional hospital was built there, and later other healthcare facilities. Thus, this former part of the estate has been transformed from a historic landscaped garden into an area brimming with healthcare architecture. Lost and Found (2016) connects these two halves of this landscape again.

During my research in the estate's archives, I came across an old photograph of a vanished folly—a small, chapel-like structure that disappeared around 1900. At the site where the folly once stood, I found remnants of brick and roof fragments, as silent evidence of the vanished folly. These discoveries became the starting point for a new sculpture on the opposite side of the highway: a reinterpretation of the folly, placed on the lost side of the garden, on a spot where a red oak once stood as part of a row of red oaks—a tree species that sets the landscape ablaze in autumn. The sculpture seems to dissolve into the foliage for a moment each year, as if it has become part of the seasons, of loss and return.

The work is accompanied by a walking route, distributed among local residents, that follows the folly's imaginary journey: from its original location on the estate to its reincarnation in the park. Along the way, the walker passes places where the landscape whispers of past use, appropriation, and transformation.

Lost and Found raises awareness of loss, memory, and spatial healing—reconnecting places physically separated yet historically intertwined.
