PROJECT

In Alcoholistan, Nikolas Lestaeghe makes an analysis, a reconstruction of how things went wrong with his brother’s alcohol consumption. During his residency at wpZimmer, he analyses the architecture of the bar – an architecture that is geared towards the consumption of alcohol. Together with the audience, he wants to analyse the symbols that are recognised in a bar setting.

By setting up an interactive installation, a scenography of a bar, Nikolas examines step by step how socially acceptable it is to lose oneself in the temptations of drinking.
