Photo installation at Dienst der Gedroomde Gewesten in collaboration
with Julie Van Kerckhoven. In a search for the palpable border between
the inner and outer city of Ypres, Julie and Louise selected several
coördinates where they individually photographed the surroundings of the city.
The result was a visual exploration of that border, seen from two perspectives.
The installation was exhibited in the Sint-Jansgodshuis, the former city museum, using recycled glass from the museum.
