Systeme D, Rue du Grand Serment, 1000 Bruxelles,
in collaboration with Olivier Barrea and Gerrit-Jan Fukkink , 2000


During 3 month in the summer 2000, we invested a fallow in the center of Brussels.
First we builded habitations for wild cats living there as well as living facilities for our own
(it was raining a lot during this summer).
Within the living facilities we organized barbecues and invited more artists
as well as kids from the neighbourhood to work on the fallow.At one point we got fascinated by all the animals and plants living on the land,
Observed and archivised them.
With the video material we gathered during the 3 month on the fallow as well as in the neighbourhood,
we are busy making a DVD.
The DVD is not only ment as a documentation about the place wich will eventually make place for a playground ,
but as well a way to investigate our environment on biological, social, architectural and urban matters.

Systeme D is a park , a lot, or lab, or unused earth space allowing the confluence of culture,
art, ideas, and social examination.
