CHRONICA is a collaborative project created by Barbara Mydlak and Yann Deval and produced by Dark Euphoria [
https://www.dark-euphoria.com/project/chronica/]. This is an interactive, collective ritual, which explores themes related to illness, the healing process, and resilience.
It is a transdisciplinary work that uniquely combines old crafts – traditional paper-making techniques – with new technologies, including Augmented Reality.
The project has been selected for the Venice Production Bridge at the Venice Biennale. Ahead of its presentation in Venice, the project will evolve during the residency at BLANCO Lammerstraat, where the artists will work on an updated prototype available for visitors to experience.
*
Residency starts on the 4th of August and ends on the 24th of August 2025.
The doors will be open on Fridays: 8, 15 and 22 August 2025 from 11:00 to 21:00.
And stop by anytime, when you see an inviting stand on the pavement in front of the entrance to the residency place.
Address: Lammerstraat 31, 9000 Ghent
