Spiel Raum
2018 - ongoing

artistic research project

audiovisual work, drawing, in-situ work


Commissioned by the flemish government, in collaboration with Luca Gent and Maarten Van Den Driessche.

Presented on Luca Brussels, architect department.

Spiel Raum questions the relation between the spatial conditions of playgrounds on middle schools and the social interactions of youngsters.

In a first fase, the project is based on observations on several playgrounds, visualising these relations. Through this rather ethnographic gaze the aim is to make visual the actual state of these play spaces.

In a second stage, the project will intervene in certain places by adding spatial elements or change some existing parameters. The target of these actions is to make visual hidden layers of meaning and conscious.
