Chantal Akerman particularly liked working on installations because she felt enormous freedom. She liked us doing everything "at home," without there being any need to explain what we wanted to achieve to anyone. She used to say that, more so than a film, an installation could not be described in advance. Rather, it was something that developed gradually in the work itself.
The exhibition will propose an itinerary—both free and structured—through some of Chantal Akerman’s works. Some with sound and others silent, some in black and white and others in color. And some photos, too.
It's an itinerary through images and sounds assembled and installed in the space. Installed but not fixed. An itinerary during which visitors can take their time, move forward, go back, get closer, stand back and get closer again. And find their own pace. A journey through some works that are very intimate and others that are more open to the world, all of which are nevertheless political due to their form and their presence.
