‘What’s goin on inside of me? Nobody notices but inside I’m boiling? It’s like a pressurised bottle you shake: do I open it and let it all blow out? Or shall I keep it closed, as always? We’ll keep the lid on, for now! Emotions, all these feelings, all these thoughts. A little devil and an angel are going at it in my mind. Shall I listen to one of them or should I ignore them both?
I’m standing here in the middle of nowhere, pacing about in this overwhelming natural scenery. I have the telephone in my hand. Shall I make a call or not? Waiting for a sign. The water truck passes by. Pieew, getting all dirty. I call the office in Belgium. My point of has been taken. Making some good deals with my superior. I’m blessed with one year to rediscover my way. |
Howdy y’all!

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 essence 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.
