Christian Bakalov
PURE
02/07/2018 — 26/08/2018
PURE is a performative and immersive installation by Christian Bakalov. It is the second part of the ETERNIA trilogy, developed from Spinoza's concept of "Eternity", which is closely linked to birth and death. Oscillating between visual arts and performance, PURE generates interactions between bodies and objects creating situations in which the public, performers and installations have an equal function, united in the same work of art.

Book launch
toutes celles qui brillent
23/05/2024
13 women came together to forge bonds, to make objects and photographs, to put words on both personal and universal feelings. They also gave themselves a name: KALAM, which means 'words' in Arabic. Words they deploy to exchange thoughts about their presence in Brussels, words with which they storm the public space. Even without legal documents, they have the strength to stand up, to transcend themselves, to fight back. And it is so that they shine. With a glow that addresses oppression, but also that of joy that endures.
