Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, Italy...


A few images from this year's Venice Biennale's Belgian Pavilion, which was amongst my favorites. The whole exhibit consisted of various worn and weathered everyday artifacts (table-tops, carpets, floor-tiles, railings, etc.) from various public, or publicly accessible, spaces, which had selectively been cut-up and were displayed in the pavilion's gallery-esque setting.

The exhibit was put together by Rotor...
