F//AAT is a Brussels-based duo with a shared interest in objects, the spatiality of things, and their relationship to time and memory. A collaboration between the individual practices of architecture and scenography. The duo has been active since early 2023, developing an object-oriented methodology, creating artistic frameworks, and engaging in the intensive collection and investigation of objects in Belgium and beyond.
The duo consists of Kaat and Fiachra. Kaat is a scenographer with a background in sculpture and theatre-film science. Fiachra is a freelance architect and artist who primarily focuses on the renovation of ruins and alternative forms of restoration. Their shared interests converge in the exploration and questioning of spaces, and both are fascinated by objects that carry intrinsic value. The work of F//AAT results in in-depth, object-oriented research, combined with a practice in which both found and newly created objects play a central role. Through this, they aim to capture a world that constantly surrounds us but is often overlooked.
The objects F//AAT works with range from lost relics in urban contexts to abstract sculptures that play with texture and narrativity. Their core themes lie at the intersection of body/object – liveness/stillness – home/estrangement. F//AAT explores the meaning of connectedness, both to each other and to each object in space.
