Gijs Van Vaerenbergh
Gijs Van Vaerenbergh is the artistic and architectural duo behind this installation. These young designers had already captured the public’s imagination with their so-called 'see-through church' in Borgloon. For C-mine, they opted for an installation in the form of a maze, because mazes are both timeless and have evolved over time. It used to be that they were challenges people had to overcome in order to survive. But now, they’re simply a pathway to an adventure. People like to get lost… How about you?
The labyrint is continuously accessible.
