ABC 2004, Antwerp Book Capital

Under the name City of Letters, Annette Meyer and Annelies Verbeke where invited to collaborate on a work of art for the letter M. This resulted in the MOON project, an installation exhibited at The Royal Museum for Fine Arts in Antwerp in April 2005.

The moonlight was brought into the exhibition space with a strong spotlight,
enlightening three mannequin dolls wearing Moon Boots, all dressed in business suits made out
of wrapping material for Stimorol gum. The clothing objects of the three mannequin dolls refers to the moon landing of the Americans in 1969.
The mannequin dolls where facing a huge projection screen with a large
projection of the poem 'Moon to earth', written by Annelies Verbeke. The poem seemed influenced by the magnetic power of the moon, appearing and disappearing like the tide of the sea.

Exhibition period at The Royal Museum for Fine Arts in Antwerp:
From April 8th till April 24th 2005.
