This installation transforms the vitrine into a threshold: a space suspended between interior and exterior, intimacy and exposure. The glass is opaque, revealing only partial glimpses of a wallpaper, visible through cut-out silhouettes in the shape of orchids and everyday objects.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The work draws from the vernacular aesthetics of Dutch windowsills, where carefully arranged objects create semi-private exhibitions for passersby. Inspired by personal experience of living in the Netherlands, the project reflects on the window as a site of silent communication, a way of negotiating belonging without shared language.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The threshold is seen as a hybrid space, where two distant worlds meet: a point of exposure and intimacy. It evokes a sense of precariousness, both physical and psychological, echoing a broader weakening of the idea of “home” as a place of protection.<\/p>\n
The installation also references Pippo Delbono\u2019s Orchidee<\/em>, where the orchid, a flower of elegance and bourgeois status, becomes a symbol of contemporary ambiguity: “You can\u2019t distinguish the real one from the fake one. Like our times.”<\/em> The orchid becomes, for the artist, a way to question what is authentic, what is performed, and how we navigate visibility and vulnerability through objects and ornament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4803,"template":"","exposition":[51],"class_list":["post-4865","vitrine","type-vitrine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exposition-en17"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine\/4865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vitrine"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exposition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exposition?post=4865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
