Festival 2026.“An afterimage is the visual trace left behind after prolonged exposure to an image, the starting point of this collaboration.Inspired by the first impressions of the collection, Nel Maertens developed a spatial installation built from pigment and texture.The work reflects FAÇON JACMIN’s universe of illusion, layering, trompe-l’oeil, and transformation, where elements appear, disappear, and re-emerge in altered forms.”On June 5, the installation also featured a live performance by Grace and Georgia Lyell.STYLIST: Veronica RuggeriMUSIC: Casper KaaPICTURES: Gil Anselmi and

20:07:15 +0000 Nel Maertens https://nelmaertens.com/Horst-Arts-and-Music-Festival Raising Statues Horst Arts and Music Festival An installation of eight flags at Asiat Park, Vilvoorde.Made in collaboration with artist Marilou Dejans14.05—30.09.2026Positioned on top of the park’s recurring concrete sewer columns, these flags rise high, inviting us to engage in the debate about women in public space. It redresses the balance of representation by bringing femininity into the traditionally male-dominated environment of Asiat Park, rooted in its history as a military base.Raising Statues came into being during an intensive trajectory through a collaboration between Campus De Brug with a group of secondary school students in Vilvoorde and BiLT, a project of TheWorkshop.
