An immersive journey through the woven metal and linen sculptures created intuitively by the Belgian designer and textile artist.
Step into the studio of Adeline Halot, Belgian artist, designer, and sculptor.
In this publication, the artist opens us the doors to a suspended
space. Fortyeight hours spent in her studio between two
exhibitions—at Villa Empain in Brussels and the Fondazione Dries
Van Noten in Venice—during which the work reveals itself as it is:
in progress, open, at times uncertain.
The works appear differently: seen from behind, fragmented, captured
in their reverses, their details, their gestures of making. Light
passes through the metal, brushes against the linen, never settling.
It emerges, then recedes. In its wake, shadows come into being.
Photographed on film, in the intimacy of the gesture, Adeline
Halot's creations reveal themselves through their rhythms, their
hesitations, their silences, their sudden emergences.
This book offers a glimpse into this intimate space where work is
constantly made and unmade. A raw, fragmentary vision—sometimes
blurred, always alive.
Adeline Halot (born 1992) is a Belgian designer, sculptor, and textile artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of material, space, and gesture. Trained in architecture at ESA Saint-Luc in Brussels and in textile design at La Cambre, Halot grounds her work in a structural yet sensitive exploration of materiality and spatial dynamics. Based in Brussels, she creates sculptural compositions that interlace metallic wires with flax linen yarns. Rooted in an architectural mindset, her work articulates a dialogue between nature and technology, combining precision with organic movement. Through these hybrid materials, Halot engages with both Flemish textile traditions and contemporary material innovation, embedding the trace of fluid gestures within constructed forms.
