In Living Apart Together, elephy brings a selection of audio/visual artworks from Belgium and Austria into correspondence. The exhibition questions and explores matters of identity, language, borders and belonging, delves into domestic spaces, provides a window onto intimacies, cherishes female role models, and celebrates the power and potential of art to unite us in the dark times, as Anouk De Clercq’s film We’ll find you when the sun goes black reminds us. In the exhibition text, “Organic Solidarity”, Patrick Holzapfel writes: “Instead of understanding the organic as a necessary interdependence between artists, the collected works unfold a physical-spiritual connection across generations and cultures. The works often show tender gestures of holding, embracing andaffection between people, but also between people and objects. Dialogues of gazes, art as a gift to the other person. This is a radical, political and liberating gesture that emphasises a different kind of togetherness between people.” Creating a dialogue between works from archival collections and contemporary creations, past and present meet here in a scenography created by Yuichiro Onuma.
