CORNER-SLICE BLUE PRINT
by Cornershop of Daydreams

One cold morning at the Monday market in Kortrijk, you come across a stand for the Cornershop of Daydreams. As you drink tea and chat, you notice that the platters of cake are mirrors of a city you thought you knew. Somebody from the agency hands you a flyer, which you use to collect crumbs or dab the corners of your mouth while you gaze at fondant and decode familiar facades amongst overzealous draftsmanship. You are conferring on the lost speculative planning proposals for Kortrijk. You use the words forget, overthrow, midday, confession (vergeet, omverwerping, middag, bekentenis). The agency are taking notes, they are asking you: Which utopian proposals did you never realise in your life? Do they haunt or direct your daydreams still? What are its ingredients? What tools? What recipe for its construction?

This project is realised during the residency programme in Kortrijk funded by Designregio
The Cornershop of Daydreams is an artist group consisting of Ila Colley, Yan Liang, and Metincan Guzel.
