Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK007717).

The performance I’m Changing Here plays with physicality, the tactile and voyeurism. 30 minutes long, boys in colourful underwear move and play around in a plastic covering. Two video cameras record the event, one camera follows the performance from within, the other camera witnesses the event from the outside. A re-enactment of the performance of I’m Changing Here is staged during the opening of USEFUL LIFE europalia.china on September 10, 2009.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
