project for Arsenaal Lazarus for Tivoli Park, Mechelen

with architecture workroom, Erfgoedcel Mechelen, RADAR 

for Kunst in opdracht

Every citizen of Mechelen was asked what they would do if given one square meter of park. I was asked to listen to each story and turn them into a tangible work of art. For my sculpture I focussed mainly on the idea of Mechelen as a place to come home to, to belong after years of waiting, of standing in line for a future. My sculpture is made out of four separate square meters which at a starting position form the word 'home'. It is made to lean on/ stand against/play with and can be moved by the audience to create their ideal place of belonging, be it momentarilly.
