Two different recordings were made of the intervention. The collaborators spread around in the street at regular distances, forcing pedestrians to walk in and around them to get past. Though the occupation was peaceful, we see responses ranging from dismissive or curious through to irritation. Roelandt was concerned with forces that affect our individual and collective behaviour. This gesture, disrupting the flow of traffic, can be seen as a critique of capitalism and our blind devotion to it.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAls pionier van de performancekunst in België stelde Hugo Roelandt de processen van normalisatie in de samenleving in vraag.

De medewerkers verspreidden zich op regelmatige afstanden in de straat en dwongen voetgangers om door of langs hen heen te lopen om voorbij te geraken. Hoewel de bezetting vreedzaam was, zien we reacties die variëren van afwijzend of nieuwsgierig tot geïrriteerd. Roelandt focuste in zijn werk op krachten die ons individuele en collectieve gedrag beïnvloeden.
