Uchronia / Arne Quinze

Posted in Design - Installations by Kseniya SHkroban | Tags: Installations

Uchronia, an art installation at the festival Burning Man, was the creation of artist Arne Quinze executed by design group Quinze & Milan and financed by art philosopher Jan Kriekels.

" The belgian waffle-like structure was inhabited by a mass of Uchronians who rave-danced the nights away.

Colorful light shows and the fariy-tale story of Uchronia (eerily reminiscent of Scientology) brought the space to life each night until the "spaceshuttle" (belgian waffle) began to "take off" (burn down).

Dressed in white, all Uchronians reported for "departure" precisely at 11:00 pm when the rooftop was suddenly ablaze and (supposed) visions of a messenger of the future and a messiah were reported to be hovering over the structure.
