9’06’’ – 2018

Brussels. Neutral Zone. Leuven street. Facing the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives, Brialmont Cafe, which is abandoned today, stands back. Would Brialmont left us a deleted place to observe and watch the organs of power? Who is Brialmont and how do I get into this cafe without a manager?

Brussels. Neutral Zone. Leuven street. In front of Brialmont Cafe, the Chamber of Representatives is hosting a session in the middle of a political crisis. The ultimate monologue of a Prime Minister lacking a solution resonates hollow in this entrenched camp left to neglect.
