An evening walk to ‘Godshuizen Elisabeth Zorghe, Paruitte en De Schippers’ where I felt like an outsider entering a restricted area, a ghost town, provided the idea for the project. Fur-ther historical research around the area revealed a location once hosting destitute widows and elderly couples, an area of the city that was kept mysterious and made me wonder what life would look like behind those walls.

In 1961 Michèle Bernstein, first spouse of Guy Debord and Situationist International member wrote La Nuit («The Night») a one evening story story that takes place on 22/04/1957 in the streets of Paris and in which lovers, trying to escape routine and conventions, end up drif-ting away.

For this one evening expo, visitors receive a mysterious invite for a meeting after sunset, when Bruges falls asleep, and get to enter the not so renowned almshouse located in Stijn Streuvelsstraat.

Without really knowing what to expect, visitors will wander around the area and, guided by the light, will encounter what could be either ghosts from the past or new forms of life.
