The project registers artists' confrontations with a habitat rich in traces of history and multiple narratives that are scattered around a living archive of Time. Where is the Time? explores the possibility of reappropriating Time by sensitively reconfiguring the spatial constellations which make a place feel mummified and anachronistic, and thereby re-instilling it with life through creation.

The first edition of the collaborative project features the creation of permanent in-situ installations by Kader Attia, Daniel Buren, Leandro Erlich, Moataz Nasr, Hans Op de Beeck and Pascale Marthine Tayou. At the basis of each artistic project lies the unravelling of a conversation between the individual subjectivity of each artist and the idiosyncratic specificities of the IZOLYATSIA site.
