12 cubic meters autumn leaves.

The slightly decaying state of castle De Lovie is contributing to its enchantment as with the quiet and calmness of the region. But villages have to cope with depopulation and are in a way, like castle De Lovie, in the autumn of their existence.

The Kunstenfestival Watou is a Summers festival, but except in this room, it;’s autumn.

Thanks to the indispensable effort of the residents of care center De Lovie, in autumn of 2021, a huge amount of autumn leaves was collected at the estate, and in the summer of 2022 installed in one of the rooms of castle De Lovie.

A short film in which the residents are installing the artwork; running and roaming through the leaves accompanies the installation.

 

The work inspired Stijn Vranken to his poem ‘Alle Tijd Volstaat’.
