Installation
The installation was commissioned by Van Eyck Mirror, the project bureau of the Jan van Eyck Academie. It was conceived as a mobile instrument to facilitate conversations in public spaces on topics such as resident participation in cultural policy. The result is a temporary, movable city bench in which the seating is mechanically connected to the roof of the structure, regulating the amount of light entering the installation. Users collectively determine both the length of their seating arrangement and the duration of their conversation.
