Short Time Stay
site specific intervention
KUMU, Tallin (EST)
& Citadel'Arte, Diest (BE)
2016

Recent years showed how governements and media deal with the problematics of migration. After temporary camps get build the media comes with stories from within the camps and the result it has on the surrounding areas. With this info the governement has a fabricated reason for demolishing the camps within weeks.

Short Time Stay are a series of site specific installations which were build in the surroundings of KuMu Tallin an dthe Citadel of Diest (BE) that deal with this situation.

The viewer only gets to see the tweaked collages that are produced from the photographic documentation of the site specific interventions that were build and then quickly taken down before the opening of the exhibition. What is left are the collages that have no indication of time or explanation of the function of what is portayed.
