Lieze De Middeleir’s concept for the Watou arts festival encourages people to reconnect with nature and public spaces. Inspired by the town’s facade benches, she designed ‘traveling chairs’ that are placed around the village, inviting both locals and passersby to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Each chair has a unique armrest imprinted with the skin texture of a Watou resident, symbolizing the connection between the user and the person involved in it’s creation. On each chair you can read a a verse of a poem of Billie Vos. These chairs are collectively owned, people are allowed to move them around.
