During the festival, children can make their own mosaics using all kinds of odds and ends. They can use any kind of material—those bits and pieces, toys, and trinkets that everyone has lying around.
Materials will be available for the children to choose from to form their own mosaic. The children can then decide for themselves whether to fill in a drawn silhouette or to sort out the colors to create a more realistic image.
The panels will eventually form one colorful whole.
Ismaël Bils studied installation art at KASK in Ghent and creates all kinds of artworks, primarily using recycled materials. Years ago, Ismaël started making mosaics from all kinds of waste materials. He began with simple silhouettes, filled with all kinds of colorful material. First on boards and on the wall of his room. But because he enjoyed it so much, he eventually decorated the entire garden wall of his house.
