Marital bliss in Uchronia.

A new development in Uchronian history, our structure keeps mutating. Today it transformed into a temple and became the scene for Laura and Fré’s wedding. A flock of white Uchronians joined them in an intimate yet spectacular celebration of love. Nature decided to throw in some surplus drama and enclosed our congregation in a fierce sandstorm. Dust and emotions reached critical levels as we sang and absorbed the warm words of Alison, minister to The Church of Universal Love. Many a man hid their tears behind macho sunglasses. Laura, Fré, we all love you dearly, may your Uchronia marriage live up to its name, cross all borders of time and last for eternity.

Uchronia

We are coming back from a time where everyone creates products for themselves, getting pleasure of it. The experience of transforming personal creativity to a unique object being a source of satisfaction. The Uchronia installation is gigantic. It consists of 150 km of timber with a floor span of 60 by 30 meters in the center, and a height of 15 meters. Part of Uchronia involves the reforestoration of an equivalent surface. The extreme dimensions will fill you with awe for human creativity. It's a sculpture of sharing, a refuge for human beings and the recommendation to rediscover the sence of being. Sunlight will be dropping ever changing shadows inside of the structure. At dusk lights will come on in the structure dropping its shadows in the surrounding area. It opens a void to a time of freedom and boundless creativity.

Synergy

All participants are volunteers, they contribute freely to Uchronia without personal benefit other than spiritual.
