Halfway Demolition

An old pyschiatric clinic in Melle, Belgium. Already there since the turn of the twentieth century. Back then, a unique place, ahead of its time. (...) Its existence, however, had already suffered a first demolition. Yet, by considering this as a chance rather than a loss, an opening came into view. (...) And yet, the building stood there. The building existed. Except from that the building might turn the usual ideas around - might result in a change. Merely through its existence.(...)

​

The movie shows a single day. Zooming in. Zooming out. Voices in the background. Circulating ideas. Exchanging thoughts. And even here. Never in view. Yet viewed in imagination. The movie. A final moment. The moment of today. On the road to the moment of tomorrow. And the day after.
