Qualia - You Matter to Me - Cinematic Immersive Installation Print

Qualia (noun): the properties of experience, and experiences, referred to as being phenomenally conscious "Qualia" is an immersive video and sound installation about our longing for connection to nature, through consciousness, awareness, and agency, a sensory voyage where the line is blurred between the physical and the digital world, between the real and the imaginary. The gaze is a visual poem, gravitational Qualia: anxiety shaped into Surrealism, mythology, a nightmare turned fantasy, spontaneous solidarity, feelings of solitude, suspension, an embrace, the beginning of a smile, a hand falling and rising again, time and the fates. Using cinematographic language and interactive dramaturgy, “Qualia” explores concepts of mental states, symbolism, and hope, creating a story that unfolds across a series of immersive scenarios drawing from the body, faces, urban patterns, nature and remains of activity. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception. ‘Universal time’ continues to exist in parallel with an inner perception of time — a back door — intimately associated with our sense of personal identity and unshakable condition that the future is still open to our chosen actions. The brain is an alchemist where memories are the bedrock of consciousness. The piece uses choreographic language, fragmentation, bioart, color, motion, music, drama, humor, light and darkness to confound expectations, dream-like scenes and symbolic images, flattening space through animation and abstraction, or heightening the illusion of three dimensions. Directed by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger Original Music by Nana Simopoulos and Erica Glyn Featuring performing artist Catherine Correa The price includes the video file delivery.
