[Teardrop](http://www.marijevogelzang.nl/www.marijevogelzang.nl/PROJECTS/Paginas/TEARDROP.html?ref=protein.xyz) is a playful installation that visitors can experience visually and tactilely, but also through their taste buds. Commissioned by the [DordtYart Centre for Contemporary Art](http://dordtyart.nl/?ref=protein.xyz) in Netherlands, [Marije Vogelzang](http://www.marijevogelzang.nl/www.marijevogelzang.nl/home.html?ref=protein.xyz)’s art project consists of five kilometers of rope and 24 glass pipettes. Selected ropes that have teasing tags attached to them – ”I will always be there for you”, or ”A fly just flew into my mouth” – can be pulled and a drop of unnamed flavour will be released in the mouth of a person standing beneath one of the three pipette chandeliers. This way, Teardrop becomes not only an interesting sensory experience, but also an exciting game of trust.
