The beast

Wood. More wood. Nails. More nails. Dust. More dust. Water. We need more water. Uchronians building.
Chaotic structure. A shape grows. Is this a tail? A leg?
It`s a beast. From the future. It`s unforgiven. Needs food. It grows and grows! Tired. No mercy, feed it!
I dream it`s next to my tent in the morning, roaring!
It`s alive! Fullgrown!
Burn it! Burn it to ashes! Out of the ashes Uchronia rises.

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.
