Tazu Rous, also known as Tatzu Nishi, has developed 'Hotel Ghent', a temporary structure surrounding the clock face of the belltower belonging to Ghent, Belgium's Sint-Pieters train station. In this spatial encounter, the circa 1912 clock belonging to the bustling transit stop has been built into the center of a small rectangular room by the Japanese-born and Berlin-based artist as a relaxed setting for an up-close interaction with the previously inaccessible structure. For 'Hotel Ghent', Rous created the room to function as both a private hotel suite in the evenings and stopping point for visitors of TRACK: a contemporary city conversation between the hours of 12:00 (noon) and 18:00 (6pm).
