About
Common Thread is an immersive passage made from a 3D knit textile connecting a previously inaccessible 19th-century monastery courtyard in Bruges back to the city. Inspired by the medieval city’s lace-making tradition, the installation uses an innovative woven fabric to create an intricate spatial experience in a wave-like tunnel. It draws visitors in, emerging into a sunlit courtyard and engaging in a serendipitous exploration of history, craft, and technology.
