SOL MOON IZAR

SELF-SERVICE ORACLE

WHEN: June 8, Saturday
TIME: 20:00
PLACE: Casino of Algorta
No need to sign up

The self-service oracle is the perfect opportunity to ask the universe for some answers. However, you’ll need to exercise your creativity and imagination, since this predictive oracle is abstract, whimsical, and sometimes will open up more mysteries for you… Photographer and editor Jason Fulford will activate Sol Moon Izar, conceived by him and specially produced for this edition of the Festival, where we will play together and he will tell us about the peculiarities of the images that are part of the piece. Come to the Casino of Algorta and immerse yourself in the realm of divinatory practices.
