About Filip Gilissen and 'The winner takes it all'

At first the installation functions as a stationary sculpture, a latent glitter cannon encircled by spot lights.  The work does not reach it’s  climax in  anticipation of a certain amount of visitors.  The number at what the machine blasts-off should always be an exaggerate quantity of the expected audience.When the 1000th visitor arrived in the entrance hall,  the visitor will be covered with gold by way of one ruthless shot of 100.000 golden slow fall glitters, simultaneously the available light is dimmed, and the theater lights mounted on both walls of the venue, intensify the experience. The golden carpet remains as a proof of the action and consequently creates new expectations towards the rest of the show, space and the rest of the festival.  Consequently the golden glitters will disperse in the rest of the exhibitions spaces.
