Between noise and pure silence 'Brussels', subtitled ‘One Million Moments of Silence’, focuses on finding moments of transition between extreme aural aggression and moments of calm in Brussels.
The moment of transition itself seldom lasts more than a few seconds - outside in the street to the inside of a shop; from the street to a car; from a traffic jam to peace - each of those moments are roughly assembled to form a kind of breathing city.
