"WHO is WHERE?" Mon Colonel et Spit /2025

Installation (November 12-14) of 44 Ceramics /2025

For several years, we have used ceramic masks as a medium to explore the themes and concepts of our exhibitions.

As part of Belgian Days 2025, we are presenting a project that invites dialogue, exchange, and collective reflection around the question: “What differentiates us?”

The exhibition will feature 44 glazed ceramic masks, each one is the result of a free and imaginative creation. Inspired by both folklore and pop culture, every mask is distinct in character. To humanize them further, each piece has been given a first name.

Half of the masks carry female names, the other half male names. These names have been selected from the 11 most commonly used first names in Belgium and in Hong Kong, creating a symbolic bridge between cultures.

The works will be displayed throughout the gallery, either individually or in groups. Visitors will be invited to playfully engage with the exhibition through a guide featuring photographs and names of the masks—reminiscent of “Guess Who?” or “Where’s Wally?”

The challenge is to identify and locate each mask within the gallery space.

This project is conceived as intercultural, intergenerational, humorous, and playful, while emphasizing the importance of encounter, dialogue, and exchange with others.
