In collaboration with actor Leroy de Böck and heritage specialist and performer Alicia Hoost, Sarah van Lamsweerde has developed a performance disguised as a tour through the exhibition In the Presence of Absence. Through self-designed rituals and stories, two fictional guides question conventional means of acquiring knowledge and experiencing culture. Together with visitors, they will explore how sharpened senses enable them to look “through” the works on display. The performance is accessible for persons with or without visual impairments.
