Els vanden Meersch - restpaviljoen - collection of the Psychiatric Centre Duffel.
Where the three previous artworks of the exhibition are open structures inviting visitors to enter and sit down, this one is different. Made from reclaimed materials - doors, floor, showers, sinks - from a building on the site that has been demolished, the inaccessible glass structure reveals a quite recent past where privacy in psychiatric hospitals was nonexistent.

Opposite this installation, another artist copies this closed structure and turns it into an open one.
