A House, 2024
site-specific mural
developed for Elders Collectief, Kortrijk (BE)
[...] In the gymnasium, a subtle game is played with how the viewer interprets written text. Annabelle Binnerts presents her work here, integrating text into the exhibition context, both in textiles and site-specific murals. Language is used to evoke other worlds or move into other bodies - just as language is often considered a tool by which the universe is described and understood. She sees words as shapeshifters, living a double life: one on the page and one in our heads - evoking ideas, objects or experiences that are elsewhere. As the words are read and interpreted, space is created for both the poetic and the misunderstanding, ultimately leading to a work that is slightly different for each viewer.
