In Places Without Faces, Kaspar Dejong and Ruben Raven focus on the forgotten beauty of the everyday, especially its marginalized aspects. Both artists develop their ideas in a similar way and work in a multidisciplinary way with materials such as ceramics, glass, painting, video and readymades.

In the project, the works of both artists are fused into collaborative pieces on the subject of urban (and human) vulnerability. They create a multi-part installation that encourages the viewer to become part of the exhibition. The scenography is reminiscent of everyday life in the city, but differs in detail.
