Heel shoe

“With your bare feet on the ground, you feel close to the earth: it gives a magical feeling to walk barefoot and experience the posture of high heels at the same time.” Artist Antoine Vandewoude visualized the magic that Persoons thus described with a new installation for the Footprint exhibition. He asked a shoe salesperson to leave a print of her toes and the front of her foot onto an infini made of black clay. Years earlier, Vandewoude had been involved with the production of the actual shoes. He made the wooden heels that Persoons then completed with patent leather.
