The room in the house that is hardly ever used. Behind closed doors can be found the best and finest things, cherished and protected against dirt and mortality. A space that is reserved for special events and important guests. “These kinds of rooms are seldom found any more,” says Eva Gevaert. “All that is left is a memory, a shadow of what once was. Time leaves a new layer in its wake; a suggestion. You ask yourself wether what you are looking at is real or just an illusion.” Preserved Sundays depicts the Sunday room from yesteryear and creates a moment of peace and quiet.
