“MOOOOO” captures the absurd and heroic journey of Leonarda 12, the cow who was swept over 100 kilometers down the Maas River during the July 2021 floods. In this piece, she swims tirelessly, accompanied by the humorous text SWIMMING LONG DISTANCE WITHOUT GETTING (A) MOOOOO, playing on the English “moo” and the Dutch “moe” (tired). A tribute to resilience, unexpected adventures, and the power of perseverance—with a wink. Leonarda survived her epic journey and returned safely to her farm, a story of survival, humor, and life’s wonderfully strange moments.
