Tazu Rous' Hotel Gent was definitely one to remember.
I realise I never posted our pictures and story on this art work made for Track. (12.05.2012 - 16.09.2012)
This outdoor exhibition in the city of Ghent took place last summer and one of the highlights was a container room build around the railway station clock. 23 meters high, only 109 nights and no surprise: after 23 minutes all nights fully booked.
Tazu Rous’ Hotel Ghent was in an extraordinary location. It closed it's door and stairs in September 2012 and to be honest, when I drive by the railway station I always look up to check if it's still there.
It's gone.
So enjoy this sneak peek of our night and try to book in Tazu's next art project.

| Ivan packed for a night on 23 meters high. With me. |
 |
| Door two, to reach the stairs. |
 |
| Stairway to heaven |
 |
| Impressive construction, and we were glad, once we arrived on the top floor. |
 |
| Magnificent view, and a great sunset over our home town. |
 |
| 4 clocks, from east to west, and our room build around it. |
 |
| Tatzu left his name on the floor. |
 |
| My man. |
 |
| View from the terrace. |
 |
| We didn't want to leave the room for a diner outside, so we got some typical Belgian Take Away: our famous Belgian fries |
 |
| Good morning! What time is it? |
 |
| A duo picture in the bathroom mirror. Mornin! |
