The exhibition opening will take place on Thursday, June 12 at 5 p.m., in the presence of the artists
This exhibition revolves around the short film YULÍ, based on stories collected in a marginalized neighborhood of Medellín, Colombia. Uchronie is an immersive installation that blends photographs, animated sequences and collage techniques in which Patrick Dionne and Miki Gingras explore perceptions, prejudices and identity narratives linked to the territory. The exhibition questions the role of uchronia — “a time that doesn't exist, a reinvented reality” (Nuria Carton de Grammont) — as a critical tool for imagining other possibilities. It gives voice to fragmented visions of the city and proposes a visual and political reflection on urban space and its representations.

Patrick Dionne and Miki Gingras form an artistic duo that explores social, political and cultural issues through works rooted in local context. Their projects bring to light narratives told by and for people and communities, enriched by testimonials, chronicles, and everyday, unofficial histories.
The duo use photomontage, animation techniques and video to create subjective worlds that vacillate between documentary and fiction.
Dionne and Gingras has several public artworks to their credit, as well as exhibitions, artist residencies and festival appearances in Latin America, Europe and Asia.
