💦 𝓔𝓶𝓸𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓟𝓸𝓼𝓽 12 - PAPIER BOULETTES & EMILIEN SIMON & 2F4F | Atoma

Light and video installation created for the papier-mâché fresco by Papier Boulettes, as part of the Salpêtre exhibition at Atoma in February 2021.

This lighting installation is an invitation to explore caves: flashlights attached to motors allow us to discover the walls solely through beams of light. The play of light and jerky videos give the impression that the walls are moving; grazing lights bring out the volumes of the paper. The video projections merge with the medium, animating the shapes and blurring the reading of the fresco.Meanwhile, collective played sound pieces, for a total immersion in the bowels of a 2.0 cave.

It is with great emotion that we share this installation, created in close collaboration with our friend who left us too soon, Émilien Simon, aka . Émilien designed the Arduino for the motors; he was a great partner in our many geeky research projects, passionate about digital art, analog tinkering, and constantly eager to discover new devices.
A big thanks, Émilien, for everything you shared and the wonderful moments we spent with you
