20,000m2 painted between 2015 and 2017 with hundreds of faces and hundreds of bits of text using spray cans, brushes and fire extinguishers, a metamorphosis of the historic Solvay building that attracted an extraordinary 25,000 visitors. Remember/Souvenir is in every way a monumental project and ensured its author, Denis Meyers, a key role in giving Belgian art a truly international profile.
In Situ: this exhibition brings together the visions of photographers who immersed themselves in Denis Meyers’s Remember/Souvenir project. The titleis a reference to the primary meaning of “in situ”: “in the original place”. A nod, as it were, to archetypical urban art. While hundreds of photographers, both amateur and professional, have photographed the Remember/Souvenir project, the exhibition focuses on those who really engaged with the site over time, bringing us their visions as so many testimonies lodged at the heart of Denis Meyers’s monumental artwork.
Photographers involved in the project:
Gilles Parmentier, Sébastien Alouf, Mireille Roobaert, Ben Baudart, Eve Matthys, Antoine Beaufils, Jon Verhoeft, Laure Van Damme, Éric Ostermann and Axel Ruhomaully.
