If you ever happen to be in the town of Heerhugowaard in the north of Holland, you should go to the bathroom. Of course not just to any bathroom, but to the one in recreation park Strand van Luna. That’s where Danish art collective Superflex and Amsterdam-based Nezu Aymo Architects have built their „Power Toilets“: a replica of the rest rooms in the UN Security Council in New York, based on some photos taken secretly by an employee. Meaning that an inconspicuous box in a recreation area in a provincial Dutch town houses the exact same top-secret toilets which are frequented by Ban-Ki moon & Co. If that isn’t worth a detour.
