For the Brussels' Bar's bicentenary Charles Kaisin created a spectacular and poetic installation in the Courthouse's lobby.
A total of 10 000 origamis, folded with the help of Sint-Gillis Prison's inmates, are forming a gigantic wave taking up the center of the space.
The paper used to fold the origamis comes from old codes provided by the Bar. The installation is like a "Pneuma", from the greek origin it means Breath Design by Charles Kaisin
reminds me that I should actually visit this building
