(LET YOURSELF) FALL - LUCA BIENNAL

With the metaphor of 'the fall', Ief Spincemaille curated an exhibition about the (in)voluntary giving up of what is known and familiar. (Let yourself) fall is about a tilting world where nothing seems certain. About countless refugees who wander over land and sea in search of a better place.
