Between bodies & walls · 2023
Les Passagées hors-les-murs
Public space, Brussels
A sonic and culinary experience
SEPTEMBER 2023
Between Bodies & Walls is a project built around the historical house of Les Passagées. The Heritage Days seemed to be the ideal moment to share with a wider public the personal and intimate history of this house between 1904, when it was built, and 2023. The house as an organic body of bricks, stones and emotional charges that have passed through it. A house as a landscape of time.
For the occasion we gathered artists, poets, historians, creative chefs and sensitive souls to explore its traces and stories. A multi-sensory installation outside the house, a way of staying in touch with the neighbourhood and making people feel this place rather than just see it.
“When a house wakes up from a long sleep, sometimes surprising things happen.”
