Maxime Vancoillie

Topography of the Night


Maxime Vancoillie has a spatial-artistic and educational practice. There she is aiming for an encounter with the world and different (often non-dominant) life-worlds. The projects in which she engages often have a relation to the theme and the question of how we inhabit our inner and outer worlds. There is always an attempt to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of our spatial and embodied experiences, dealings with and use of spaces, and the meanings we give to them. It is a practice of responding rather than reacting, and takes the form of long-term research processes where moving in a slow and resonant mode is possible. Through fieldwork, mappings, scale models, installations and conversation formats, she wants to raise spatial questions, rather than giving answers and crystallize artistic research processes.
