100% Brussels

Von Haug / Kaegi / Wetzel

51 people are born in Brussels daily, 23% of the inhabitants in Brussels are living alone, 29% are living with their parents, 1% of the population is over 90 years and also 1% has an American passport, while 67% have a Belgium one, 35,2% of the households do not have a car, 67.000.000 € is the anual budget of the people in Brussels spend on their pets, 282 kg waste are produced per inhabitant per year...
 
100% Brussels takes the city’s official population statistics and pastes a human face on the numbers. Hundreds of Brusselaars quasi-scientifically make up the inhabitants of Brussels, but they also play a more delicate role: that of themselves. Each of them tells of their everyday life in the city, unafraid to take a stance on the issues that concern them. In this way the participants repeatedly sketch a subtle, subjective cross-section of the city. Within a few weeks of an election battle where the capital will be fiercely contested, 100% Brussels paints a rare portrait of this complex metropolis. 100% Brussels optimistically wanders beyond the clichés.
