Bouquet III
2004
Bouquet III exemplifies the contradictory conceptualism and the distinctive criticisms of the Dutch artist duo Jeroen de Rijke and Willem de Rooij. A charming and inoffensive form if ever there was, the bouquet is accompanied by a text on the Dutch involvement in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This describes the celebration of their national day by a Dutch detachment in Iraq, during which the commander identified his troops’ activities with the Iraqi struggle for freedom. This ambivalent work reveals the current tendency to construct attractive images that bear a hidden political content.
