Video mapping made during a creation residency organised by Rencontres Audiovisuelles / Video Mapping European Center as part of the Video Mapping Festival #8.
► The Abyss Stares Back
The installation plays with the complexity and contradictions that arise at the verge of the mundane and the abyss of the subconscious.
Inspired by the history of Labanque and the works of Visual System, currently on display inside, this installation takes the building as partner in its choreography – its facade and a fleeting public space, its vaults an intimate dreamworld.
By blending generative visuals, electronic music, and live performance, the piece explores depth, rhythm, and perception, inviting the audience on a journey of immersion, self-reflection, and rediscovery. Seeking to achieve a state of connection to pure emotions through abstraction – an invitation to confront the unknown, where the abyss might stare back.
The show will alternate between live performance and recorded music.
Direction and animation: Francisca Cardoso Lima
Original music and live performance: Géraldine Kwik
