ÎNTERZONE Threshold Cards
Bart Van Dijck
These cards were created during the artistic PhD project ÎNTERZONE (architecture of the ritual space) and deal with change, growth, decay and the cycle of the seasons. They are linked, in a direct or indirect way, to the different rituals Bart Van Dijck developed and performed during the past years.
The cards are a way to unlock his research and give an overview of the threshold rituals he organised, sometimes in collaboration with other artists and sometimes linked to specific moments in the year.
However, they can also be used autonomously as a way to stimulate the imagination and connect with our intuition or unconscious. You can consult the cards for inspiration. They can offer answers to specific questions, or inspire new insights. They can spark conversation or interaction. They can be particularly helpful in a ritual context, at threshold moments, or during a period of change. Sometimes they can even behave like magical helpers. They can confirm, suggest, or question.
With their backs turned and laid in a row, the cards can form a symbolic threshold that you can charge with meaning and use at moments of transition.
This publication is part of the PhD research ÎNTERZONE (architecture of the ritual space) conducted by Bart Van Dijck at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts) and ARIA - Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts, University of Antwerp, 2021-2025.
