In 100 taut, transparent sculptures, earth seems to float, a soldier’s graveyard in a cold landscape. Sounds rise up from the earth. Noises, rustling, echoes from the battle, but also voices, fragments of music.
In Field Recordings artist Anneleen De Causmaecker and composer Annelies Van Parys search for the universal emotions behind every war.
