In November, Marres will host the recordings for The House Where We Used To Live by filmmaker Nanouk Leopold and visual artist Daan Emmen (Leopold Emmen). Their installations explore the boundary between film and space: not a conventional screen, but an experience that physically surrounds you.

On Friday, 7 November, Nanouk Leopold and Daan Emmen will give you a sneak peek behind the scenes of their film project at Marres, just before filming kicks off the following week. As a visitor, you will take part in the first test takes!

Part 2: 14 November 2025

Then, on Friday, 14 November, once the cameras have stopped rolling, you can explore the set yourself while they share the stories and insights from the shoot.

Leopold Emmen explore the different characteristics of a house and its inhabitants, and how external forces can put people’s lives under pressure. The film tells the story of two women living together in a house, until one day a large group of strangers enters and decides to live there as well. The work will be on view at Marres in 2027.
