L’Immeuble aux Planteurs is a multifaceted project engaging with two colonial statues located on boulevard Léopold 40 in Liège. Created in 1878 by Michel Decoux, these figures — a planter and a harvester — each missing a hand, embody the symbolic violence of colonial history in public space and the surrounding silence. From these absences, Anna Safiatou reconstructs the missing hands in raw clay, initiating a fictional narrative between physical and moral repair.
