BETWEEN US
THE MARRIAGE PROJECT
In collaboration with Anyuta Wiazemsky Snauwaert
“Marriage” beyond a literal marriage is a durational, multidisciplinary artistic process in which we, as an artist couple, curate our marital relationship. We married partly for practical reasons related to residence rights, but with the intention of forming a “sustainable community life.” According to legal frameworks, this is also the central condition for a legitimate marriage.
Our work engages with what this notion of a “sustainable life community life” actually means, not only in legal terms but also in relation to social expectations that consciously and unconsciously shape our relationship. We are interested in how cultural models of intimacy, commitment, and cohabitation present themselves as fixed or predetermined, and how these can be examined and destabilised through artistic practice.
The project brings together different perspectives, recordings, images, and documentary material, which are developed into performative actions, publications, and exhibitions.
