In this haunting installation, Dries Verhoeven turns the world upside down and bids farewell to parts of the world, civilisations, convictions and personal possessions which disappeared a long time ago or are destined to disappear someday in the future. The spectator watches through a telescope and perceives continuously flowing text with things and thoughts, which one day we might have to bid farewell. Verhoeven turns public space into private worlds, offering an epic but intimate experience.

The installation is part of the expanded performance space and scenography programme Shared Space: Music, Weather, Politics, supported by EU programme Culture.
