Marie Snauwaert (BE), Lauren von Gogh (ZA)


In 2009 Marie Snauwaert and Lauren von Gogh changed hometowns – Ghent/Johannesburg. Snauwaert collected lockets made of gold from pawn shops, while living in Johannesburg. At the same time, von Gogh subconsciously collected handwritten letters, shopping lists and notes she found on long walks in Gent.
