Denicolai & Provoost wrote the course of this performance in the following scenario:
- An advertisement in a local newspaper announces the diving action of a professional diver in a water zone in the vicinity of the museum.
- On the date mentioned, the diver brings stones from the bottom of this water zone to the surface.
- After which he comes to the museum with his loot and places the stones in a composition of his own choosing on the planned vacant pedestal.
- Where they will remain for the rest of the exhibition.
Uitburgeren' is the opposite of the word 'inburgeren' and means not assimilating a new culture or way of life, not adapting to a new environment. This definition is also applicable to the stones, 'found objects', that seem strange in this museum, their new environment.
