PHENOMENA is the third exhibition curated by ELDERS. The abandoned school building of Stella Maris that forms the backdrop was erected in 1911, and can be visited for the last time on this occasion before its conversion into residential real estate.The collective invited a selection of international artists, four of which present their work for the first time in Belgium. Through a cycle of contemporary installations with an immersive character, they invite the spectators on an expedition through the hidden layers of the building.
ELDERS continues the site’s original function as a space where the worldviews were shaped, with a stimulating experience that explores the complexity of perception and corporeality. PHENOMENA explores various alternative perspectives, ranging from transhumanistic futures and elusive physical principles to improbable dream worlds. Enigmatic experiences evoke questions of matter and existence, in addition to underlying reflections on our own perception and relativity. They indicate that what we consider as reality are actually for a large part constructions of our own minds, making the ultimate reality intangible.
