This work was created by Brussels artist Lucile Van Laecken. For this project, she focused on the representation of the Laeken landscape. “Voyage d’Antan” depicts a walk during the Green Year, the appearance of Belgium’s first railway line and the birth of the workers’ movement. Lucile Van Laecken takes us on a journey into Laeken’s past. A key element in this story, the locomotive acts as a conductor on a timeline, inviting spectators to take a chronological journey from the 18th to the 19th century.
