With Studio Cité, Benjamin Vandewalle forms what he calls an art fair, a playground for the human perspective. His installations cause encounters, conversations and the exchange of experiences and ideas.    

 

Studio Cité challenges us to use the senses in a different way when we enter the public space. The way we perceive influences the way we act in that space and how we shape this space. The installations and performances part of Studio Cité force us to observe and experience the space and its surroundings in our own way. The need for interaction is what connects the installations; an audience to activate the installations and to share experiences. 

 

By choreographing our gaze, Benjamin Vandewalle makes us aware of the unseen potential present in public space. He invites us to broaden our view.    

 

Installation
Peri-sphere XL is an installation that works according to a series of small mobile dioramas, through which the viewer perceives reality from weird angles. According to the periscope principle, it does not move in one place but in different places in the public space. The gaze is disconnected from the human body and is now placed on the machinery of the installation. As a spectator you quickly switch from frog's eye to bird's eye view, an unforgettable experience in a fascinating installation that stimulates the imagination.    

 

For adults but also for children from the age of ten.
