‘In 2016, on a Friday, I went as always to the flea market on St jacobs in Ghent. This box (see image) was offered for sale for 50 euros, which I thought was a lot of money.
I asked his best price and that was 35 euros …
I just wanted to think about it but first I would go to the fish market and then I would see.
When I was queuing for fish I suddenly panicked. It would be such a shame if she were gone. So I quickly walked back to the stall at the flea market and bought them right away.
There was a plan in the box on which 14 chalet variations were briefly explained. All building pieces turned out to be present … So I made all 14 of them, all filmed and photographed 1 by 1.’
