Sculpture duo Winter & Hörbelt created this plastic cave facing the sea on the Belgian coast. It’s made from water boxes, does anybody know what those are? Translated info page, photo page, via Milk Crate Digest.

I’m guessing they’re some sort of water crate.

“Crate” is a better translation than “box” as you might guess from the link to Milk Crate Digest.
The “water boxes” are indeed crates, holding from 6 to 12 glass bottles of water. I think in this particular case it are the crates of the brand SPA – as shown on : http://www.kyora.be/pictures/678_page.jpg
Like one of these:

“Wasserkiste” is simply the crate in which you carry home bottles of water you buy from the store. You buy them in convenient 6-packs like this. In e.g. Sweden, you could buy any 1,5 liters, bottled water or soda beverage in this kind of crates (although only 4 in one and the crates are yellow).
Found a good stock photo for the ‘regular’ use:http://www.fotolia.com/id/246833
its the crate in wich glass waterbottles are sold with 6 at a time, for easy storage and transport
I hope that monstrosity doesn’t end up IN the ocean, but somehow I think my hopes will be dashed.
Hi, where did you get these picutes, they’re from 2003. This construction was built for an art venue all along the Belgian coast. It was indeed made of crates to carry 6 waterbottles of SPA, and it was partially submerged when the sea was at high tide. It has already long disappeared. It was quite fun though for the kids to run around in. See the archives on the link : http://www.beaufort03.be/
