| Summary: | This visual essay showcases material from an exhibition displayed in Brussels in autumn 2024. The exhibition featured films created for the occasion by Bêka & Lemoine, as well as exhibits borrowed from the collections of Rotor, a Brussels-based collective research and design practice. These movies and objects were accompanied by wall texts and captions, which are reproduced here in an adapted version. The exhibition presented sites where materials are produced, transformed, reused or disposed of within a 200 km radius of Brussels. It addressed the complexity that characterises the organisation of material flows in the current economy. The stills from Bêka & Lemoine’s films and Rotor’s texts intertwined to create narratives that address various issues, such as the scale of industrial activity, the relationship to work, the role of machines, waste management and the impact of material movement on the landscape.
