COLOR WALKS

Ria Pacquée
In recent years, Ria Pacquée has focused in her work on colour in a postcolonial world. She makes us ask: “What is color?” Ria Pacquée does not talk color but lives it, in her travels, her imagination, and in her art. She takes us on color walks, like William Burroughs while staying in the Beat Hotel in Paris in the early 1960s...

DE KUS #1

Frank Theys

The audience can walk around the projection so that the image itself can be seen as a section as well...
