NET refers to the extraordinary episode of Jeux Sans Frontières in 1971 at the Ahoy sports arena in Rotterdam; there was a game in which the athletes, armed with tennis rackets, had to shoot down targets shaped like women’s heads placed on an orange fence. NET is a re-enactment of that game with a playground installed in an existing tennis court with a newly designed orange wooden net.

NET è un playground; vi si gioca con le racchette usando come net una transenna con teste-bersaglio con l’obiettivo di colpirle, abbatterle. Questo spazio ludico ricostruisce ed aggiorna lo schema di gioco della manche di tennis ibrido svoltasi nel 1971 nell’episodio dello show tv Jeux Sans Frontières in Rotterdam nel palazzetto dello sport Ahoy.
