invitation au voyage 2019  Drift, Thame-Side Studios Gallery curated by Outside Architecture

painted plywood screen, wall painting, projected video loop

 

This installation responds to Eileen Gray's architectural concern with the sentient being. An architectural painting based on Villa E.1027's entrance screen, a filmed choreographic work, a related wall painting, the architecture of the gallery's entrance way and the movement of visitors were configured in a multi layered spatial choreography of actual and imagined architecture and bodies.

This work is related to two films of Villa E.1027: Cura 2018 a film of the restoration of E.1027 and  Invitation au Voyage III 2019 filmed after its restoration.
