Manon van den Eede
“Blue Hour”
In Blue Hour (2025), a curtain partially reveals an interior that quietly blends into the streetscape of Rue Josaphat. The installation reflects fragmented narratives — glimpses through windows and half-drawn blinds — where the curtain becomes a threshold, both a barrier and an invitation. As the sun sets, subtle movements and shadows unfold in loops of hesitation and withdrawal, amplifying the tension between presence and absence. When forms soften and perception falters, the installation lingers in the space between observing and being observed.
Manon van den Eeden (1996, Belgium) lives and works in Brussels. Her work explores the shifting dynamics between body and space, uncovering the tension and resonance that emerge as we navigate through it. In her practice, space acts as both subject and medium, illuminating the nuanced, often unseen interactions that shape how we perceive and connect with our surroundings.
