Imagined as an interface between the invisible electromagnetic fields with which we live, this installation makes these waves tangible in the form of luminous spectrums. Using handcrafted antennas, it captures and translates into light the subtle influence our presence exerts on this impalpable environment. Activated during performances, it is accompanied by a sound creation by Serguei Spoutnik in which movements are transformed into floating orbs, conjuring up strange luminous ghosts. This installation is part of hertzian spirits, a project and exhibition produced as part of SUPRA long-term residency.
