Exhibition
This Must be the Place
Current Traces #3
In an ever-changing city, This Must Be the Place invites you to look again at your surroundings – not as stable ground, but as an assemblage of past lives, memories and future desires. The exhibition takes you through the eyes of three practitioners approaching home not as a fixed site, but as a shifting condition shaped by time, memory and access.
Animator and filmmaker Tess Martin, artist Nael Qurashi and architect Tov Frencken highlight multi-layered perceptions of the domestic – exploring its definitions beyond the boundaries of architecture. Bringing a poetic film installation together with daily urban notations and innovative street furniture, they each question what it means to build a home.
Rather than focusing on the stability of domestic space, the works trace its reconfiguration across time and space through their unique lens, whether that be over years, or across continents and cities. They reveal how histories accumulate within walls, how memory reconstructs place from afar, and how shifting vacancy structures the city. As a visitor, you will experience a constellation of hand-cut photo collaging, film projection, typewritten notes, mobile furniture, blueprints and homely interiors to walk through and relax down within.
