The Guardians
Immersive storytelling through ceramic works and AR.

The pilot project in itself will have a visible and participatory outcome involving the public. The project aims to explore how ceramic sculptures can be combined with AR, thereby creating new narratives in which the citizen/viewer actively participates.

Project description:
• The physical part of the project will center around an exhibition of ceramic works. There will be 4–8 pieces, provisionally titled “Guardians.” Each guardian has a specific characteristic.
• By scanning a QR code, users will receive a digital “avatar” of the guardians on their phone. Through their device’s camera, they can place the guardians in spaces and landscapes as they wish. They can also experiment with scale, creating both small and large guardians. The experience thus invites play and participation.
• At the same time, the experience encourages reflection: What are the guardians protecting—and why? Where would you like to see transformation and change, and where would you preserve what already exists? This dialogue can provide valuable insight into others’ perspectives while also fostering existential reflection within the individual.
• Photos of the guardians and their placements—preferably accompanied by reflections—can be uploaded to a shared platform.
In a broader perspective, the project could generate valuable empirical data and insights into how citizens experience their local environment. In the long term, educational programs connected to the project could also be developed.

The project is distinctive in its exploration of the interface between analog ceramic sculptures and their digital avatars, while focusing on the narratives that emerge within this interplay. In Viborg, there must be room for both the broadly accessible and the innovative.

The presence of a strong foundation for innovation in Viborg is essential for strengthening and promoting the city’s visual identity.

Nana RHB

The Girl with Many Eyes

29.04 - 03.06

With the exhibition The Girl with Many Eyes, Nana RHB presents new paintings, collages and smaller paper works, where she creates a space for reflection on the ambivalent meanings and symbolism of the eyes.

Eyes are often considered a window to the soul and can symbolize a close connection to one's inner self or a high degree of attention to one's surroundings. At the same time, eyes can also represent surveillance and censorship and act as a comment on the increased surveillance and control in society.

The exhibition touches on themes such as identity, staging, censorship and nostalgia, based on Nana RHB's own life in various roles as daughter, woman, artist, wife and mother.

In the painterly process, she works with different layers and overlaps and applies brush strokes over existing photographs in order to create a dialogue with the underlying source material, which remains visible to varying degrees.

The works are made on cardboard, paper, canvas and sailcloth, and she combines large colorful surfaces with parts of different visual material that she has collected and saved over the past few years.

The exhibition presents a present storyteller, and the works are rich in visual richness and complexity, which gives the viewer the opportunity to explore Nana RHB's artistic universe and consider the many ways in which we see and understand the world around us.
