[hij zwaait opnieuw naar de vrouw die nog steeds haar hond uitlaat] is a cross-section of a fictitious Flemish village, based on the routes taken by residents and passers-by. Stories and movements from different Flemish villages come together in one place – a cumulative village. read more

There are foxes and martens. A highway, canal and railway run through it. There is a milkman and a popinjay mast, a lookout point and a hacienda, a tower crane and an automated warehouse. A nest of German Shepherds is born near the reservoir. The architect parks his car in the grass. At this hour, Café The Bolero is always busy. The bus drives fast; the windows are opened. Under the chestnut trees near the glass containers, a woman walks to the supermarket. A brand new robotic lawnmower bumps against the spire of the basilica. A hot air balloon flies low over the fields. A woman points. An invasive exotic species is rampant in the verges. There is an empty container of Coca Cola on a fence post.

F#1-13 is a collection of photographs, sculptures, wind barbs and texts based on a gridded flag that blew for thirty-nine days in Citadel Park, Gent (Belgium). The flag was photographed every third day. A wind sensor, attached to the flagpole, measured the wind direction and speed. The results of the measurements – taken at the same instant as the photographs – were plotted out using wind-barbs. Texts were written based on phenomena, dialogues, manuals, revelations and data along the side-lines of the process of capturing the flag. The uppercase, italicized and sans serif F in the title of this book refers to a north-northeasterly wind of 20 knots coming from the direction of the flag and passing exactly between two nearby museums.

A growing encyclopaedia on ships, forests and pacemakers.

Reference Guide is a collection of entries, connected and fuelled by cross-references. These not only determine the characteristics of the encyclopaedia and its use, but they are also the mechanism behind its expansion. All* entries are transcripts of moments when objects and technologies challenge the strict boundaries that apply to them and emphasize their transitory nature.

Notes
*Although the main focus of Reference Guide lies within these moments of technological candour, the collection demonstrates a surprisingly high interest in characters and phenomena along the side-lines of these episodes and displays a severe tendency to digress.
