CANCELLED: Divinations

Please note: this installation and film screening have been cancelled to help contain the spread of the new coronavirus. 

Children from Brussels, Athens and Sarajevo unroll rolls of transparent tape in the streets where they grew up. When they remove the tape, they pick up an imprint of the city: dust, sand, sweet wrappers, insects, glass, fluff… An old magic lantern brings this ultra-realistic diary to life. Divinations brings all these forms and images together in a film and an installation. Do they tell us something about the future?
