EN For Residents Only is an installation that brings certain elements out of the public space together into a sculptural summery. The elements refer to a language used for urban spaces like a car park, a roundabout or a square. Combining those elements reduces the public space into abstraction. The viewer is at the same time confronted with the way we interpret (traffic) signs as purely functional, without looking further into the visual impact they have on the streetscape.

​

For Residents Only is also a reaction to the typical present day Disneyfication of historical city centres. The installation is cross to the emergence of mobility plans, emission-free areas and pedestrian zones, however the contrast between historical heritage and urban misfits is prominently present in the Belgian urban landscape.
