SHAPE

EN

The sculpture and audiovisual installation Shape tends to disturb the viewer's perception, which sometimes perceives a solid form, representing a rectangle, sometimes an unstructured, deconstructed form.

The polygons of different sizes that make up Shape float in space, a marking on the ground indicates the point of view to visually "reconstruct" the geometric shape, according to the principle of anamorphosis.

This reconstruction/deconstruction approach linked to the spectator's movement gives Shape a kinetic dimension.

Different versions have been designed, large format, gallery format, with or without sound.

Shape tend à troubler la perception du spectateur, lequel perçoit tantôt une forme pleine, représentant un rectangle, tantôt une forme non structurée, déconstruite.

Les polygones de différentes tailles qui composent Shape flottent dans l'espace, un marquage au sol indique le point de vue permettant de “reconstruire” visuellement la forme géométrique, selon le principe de l'anamorphose.

Cette approche de reconstruction/déconstruction liée au mouvement du spectateur confère à Shape une dimension cinétique.

Différentes versions ont été conçues, grand format, format galerie, avec ou sans son.
