In order of disappearance by Bart van de Woestijne

Every day we see ourselves reflected in the bathroom mirror, tram windows, the water at our feet; our reflection is something we live with. But who are we if we only have our reflection, if nobody else sees us?

In order of disappearance is an installation performance, in which the participant will be guided by a voice on a headphone, through an exercise in isolation, in being alone. Especially for MU Hybrid Art House, Werkplaats van de Woestijne created a custom-made, stand-alone variant. The thought experience starts at the exhibition space and is accessible for one person at a time.

As a participant, you will walk around in the area of Strijp S. Eventually you will reach a wooden cubical. The premise is that the participant leaves everything behind and withdraws, away from the landscape. Can we be alone, or do we end up in endless vacuum, only to slowly vanish?

In order of disappearance is part of The Self Design Academy Share program and can be visited from 19 till 22 November at MU. The installation can be experienced by one person at a time and takes +/- 45 minutes. With a ticket for the installation, you can also visit the expo The Self Design Academy.

The installation is accessible in both English and Dutch.

Attention: not suitable for people with claustrophobia and cannot be visited with a wheelchair.
