PLONGEONS is a series of historic photographies remixed in monochromatic universes. With the project’s augmented reality app, your mobile devices act as scans and reveal other images – virtual this time – embedded within the ones exposed. By diving you in an immersive and interactive environment, the artist will make you live an original experiment nestled between documentary truth and fictitious manipulation.
