EN ATTENDANT GODOT is a collective of five artists based between Paris, Brussels and Berlin, active since 2017. The name borrows from Samuel Beckett's play and its central condition: waiting without resolution, acting without certainty, persisting without arrival. The collective works across photography, installation, site intervention and generative processes. Each project investigates the space between presence and disappearance, between what structures hold and what they release. Materials are never neutral: soil, plaster, concrete, dust, glass, data. They carry the weight of the places they come from. The work does not document ruin. It operates within it.
