Lichtzoekers is a project in which we create images of people and transform them into “Lichtzoekers.” The images are installed in the centre of Brussels, hanging from or standing against building facades, in poses that suggest climbing upward or reaching toward the sky. Together, the light seekers form a trail through the city. They invite passers-by to look up. In a city that can sometimes feel grey, they remind us of the longing for air and light. The Lichtzoekers are both local residents and more widely known figures, people with diverse backgrounds and stories who together shape the city. Each participant becomes part of the project and, in doing so, part of a collective narrative.

Our studio will be open on 25, 28 and 30 September and 2 October, from 9 am to 5 pm on each of these days.
