about this work

On the occasion of Bozar, Brussels 100th anniversary, Anouk De Clercq created a video installation on the facade of the art centre with 100 unique flowers, each blooming in colourful bursts. For this edition, Anouk worked with graphic designer Michaël Bussaer to create a still image that overlays 50 of these flowers to create a new one – in honour of Bozar director Sophie Lauwers who passed away earlier this year.

Flowers are never just flowers. We look to these bursts of colour and joy when the world turns dark. And the darker the turn, the more significance our flowers assume. They are dissidence of the highest, most beautiful order.
