Scopitone - Constellations - Joanie Lemercier
The Constellations installation seeks to expand the possibilities of light as a medium by projecting visuals on fine suspended drops of water. Three-dimensional images thus created transport us into the centre of a black hole and then through the cosmos to the limits of the universe. Constellations offers a fascinating journey where the vector and monochromatic aesthetics of Joanie Lemercier dialogue with the electronic soundscapes of producer Paul Jebanasam. Sublime and cosmic!
