BETWEEN US 
THE MARRIAGE PROJECT 

In collaboration with Anyuta Wiazemsky Snauwaert

We are Anyuta Wiazemsky Snauwaert and Kim Snauwaert. Since 2016, we have worked together as an artistic collective, developing long-term, multidisciplinary projects that emerge from our shared life and artistic practice.

 

Our collaboration is mainly based on dialogue. We always have a shared authorship. Which takes longer but makes the work better. Rather than dividing artistic roles, we develop every aspect of the work together. We work by building on each other’s ideas. We start with a conversation about what we want to make, then one of us writes a first draft. The other adds, changes, or responds to it, after which it goes back again. By going back and forth like this, the work grows through conversation.

 

Our ongoing project 'Between Us' is at the centre of this collective practice. It takes our own marriage as its subject and artistic material. We never had a romantic relationship and got married partly for practical reasons, including residence rights. At the same time, we wanted to explore what it really means to build a "sustainable community life"—the legal concept at the heart of marriage.

 

The project brings together conversations, recordings, photographs, archival material, legal documents, and everyday experiences. These materials are continuously transformed into performances, installations, publications, and exhibitions.

 

Through 'Between Us', we investigate how laws, social expectations, and cultural ideas shape intimacy, commitment, and living together. We ask which aspects of our relationship are personal choices, and which are shaped by inherited norms and institutional frameworks. By working from our own relationship, we open up broader questions about how people build lives together and how these structures might be imagined differently.
