SLOW ODRADEK DAYS

Four Guided Sessions to Explore Art Through Hypnotic Immersion

As autumn draws to a close, ODRADEK XL Gallery invites you to experience art in a different way: to take the time to immerse yourself in selected paintings, to venture “beyond” their surface and embark on a journey into our own inner worlds. Through this deeply sensory process, the artwork gradually reveals itself, while bringing hidden aspects of ourselves to light.

Hypnotic immersion activates the subconscious, allowing us to draw upon our inner resources. Throughout the session, participants remain fully in control of their experience.

Hypnosis is not solely a therapeutic tool. It can also offer us access to works of art, as well as to our most intimate emotions. By suspending our sense of time and focusing our attention, we can set this process of co-creation in motion.

To guide us on this journey, ODRADEK has invited art historian Christine Ayoub, a specialist trained in Ericksonian hypnosis, who regularly leads Slow Art sessions at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.

She will invite us to wander through the works of Dawo, Atinka Di Muro, Eric Audoubert, Aika Furukawa and Etienne Tribolet.

The four sessions will take place at ODRADEK XL Gallery on the following dates:

Sunday, 22 November at 4 pm – Wednesday, 25 November at 7 pm – Friday, 11 December at 7 pm – Thursday, 17 December at 7 pm.

To ensure the best possible conditions, each session is limited to twenty participants. Advance registration is required.

Fee: €20.
