„sous un ciel partagé entre nuages et éclaircies“(*) is the result of a year-long research project in Brussels and combines autobiography with fiction, everyday experiences with collected first-hand accounts. In photographs found at flea markets, and a text that conjures up encounters with some of the people depicted, past and present come together and speak of life’s transience and our vain attempts to pin down time.
