Space Circus
This is not just a sculpture in its own right, but also the model of a meters-high construction that Constant wished to install on the Museumplein in Amsterdam. The small ladders indicate that it was meant to be climbed. This giant climbing frame was part of New Babylon,
Constant’s imaginary metropolis of the future populated by homo ludens, or man the player.
