BETWEEN US
THE MARRIAGE PROJECT
In collaboration with Anyuta Wiazemsky Snauwaert
Without having a romantic relationship, Kim married Anyuta in 2018, who at the time needed a Belgian residency permit. She was originally from Russia, did not want to go back and marriage seemed the only option.
As we looked into marriage laws, we discovered that in Belgium you don't have to be in a romantic relationship to have a legal marriage. The main condition is that you have the intention to create a sustainable community living. We decided to get married and define this sustainable community life in the hope that Anyuta would get a residence permit. At the same time, we developed an artistic practice around these attempts and recorded the entire migration process. In collaboration with workspacebrussels, WpZimmer, Kaaitheater, Buda, Theater Aan Zee, De Brakke Grond and many other Art Centres, we presented different stages of our process in the form of installations, a theaterplay, performances, video's...
The preparations for this work began in 2015, in June 2023 Anyuta finally obtained her Belgian nationality, based on our marriage.
