On the banks of the Marais WIELS, L’Écaillère awakens: a giant fish, a gentle guardian of the water, woven from stories, willow branches, metal and colourful fabric.
Layer by layer, this artwork takes shape. Residents, children, local organisations and passers-by are working together to create a living skin from recycled materials and plants harvested from the Marais. Every knot, every plait and every piece of fabric makes the fish a little stronger.
Next to the installation, you’ll find a place to settle down, listen, play or simply be still for a moment. Settle down on the colourful blanket made especially for Parade Poétik by classes from Arc-en-Ciel and La Preuve par 9. Come and help build the fish’s skin. Leave a scale behind. Listen to the Marais. Perhaps it will whisper a story back to you.
