altering functions,
Our building is about to begin a new life. Our presence has always been temporary, continuously extended, never fully secured. This uncertainty of departure forms an underlying condition of the installation, caught between what it once was and what it is about to become.
altering spaces,
Located at Quai du Commerce 26 in Brussels, the former Art Deco apartment block exists in suspension between domestic past and imminent renovation. Temporarily occupied yet unfinished, it is a space in transition. From this instability, we began to focus on moving and to the most stable element of the home: the floor. Rooted in a Belgian architectural context, the installation draws on domestic traditions in which floors define space and function.
altering meanings.
Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) an address that sounds familiar? Chantal Akerman’s film was shot three houses down the same street. The film renders domestic routine and the strict division of space tangible through duration and gesture. Each movement unfolds on and across the floor, revealing it as a silent carrier of daily life and time.

we have to go, time passed
By interweaving our collective move-out, the building’s transitional state, and the cinematic language of Jeanne Dielman, the work reflects on an absurd yet familiar state of dwelling.
