Vacant window No.1

Brussels

If you might be walking down the Rue des Brigittines in Brussels and seeing wired windows with white curtains, this might be Chapelle's vacant train station. Humble by its looks, invisible to the eye of an occasional passer-by, these layers are telling a story of a Jonction's monumental infrastructure, once planned as a "public dream" and now quietly unused. Sidelined by graffiti, covered with curtains, it reflects the truth of today but nonetheless invites to imagine what might be hiding under the wrinkles of the past.

"Oh Jonction, my beautiful!"

Ugne Neveckaite

Located in a vacant train station in Brussels, the aim of three interventions was to (re) construct the social, spatial, and material aspects of space with the means of historical imagination, drawing, and mapping.

Past, present & future tenses were used to investigate the changes throughout time and reflect upon the futurities in the public infrastructure.

The final outcome of the work was a short film ( https://youtu.be/Etqzf105UCM ).
