Constellations
Water particles, light, sound. 16 minutes (2018)
“Constellations” is an audio-visual installation.
Light is projected on invisible water particles to form shapes and intangible structures in the air. (See also: NOLOGRAM, BRUME)
It’s an abstract journey through geometric structures formed by the universe.
The project will tour light festivals and public spaces around the world.
With Constellations, the environment becomes a gate for the exploration of the cosmos. The 3D like visuals will allow us to move from the heart of a black hole into deep space, travelling through planets and stars, as we look for the limits of the universe. Constellations is a fascinating journey where the vectorial, monochromatic aesthetics of Lemercier dialogues with the electronic soundscapes of producer Paul Jebanasam.
