Anteprima: scritta prima dell'apertura della mostra
In 1909, Joshua Serafin's Japanese great-great-grandfather migrated to the Philippines. Kanal commissioned a new film installation, Whispering pleas of the eternal echoes, that sets out to find him and the family that came after.
Footage shot in the Philippines runs into scenes filmed in Belgium, and characters from different eras and regions talk to each other across what Kanal calls a cosmic threshold. You step into the search rather than watch it from a seat. Serafin, who moved from Manila to Hong Kong and then Brussels, works mostly in choreography and performance, and their piece VOID was praised at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
It is in Room 1. A standard ticket is €18, €9 for 19 to 26s, and free with museumPASSmusées or a Brussels Card. Hours are Wednesday to Sunday 11:00 to 19:00, Thursdays until 20:00.
