About the Item

Item description: Motif 218 Cube Sintra Print 39.7” x 23.7” high resolution video, video player, video projector 5:18 minutes loop edition of 6 + AP This item needs a projector- not included in the price Clearly stepping away from standard setups and techniques, Joanie Lemercier presents unique light performances and installations that challenge the audience by creating optical illusions that question one's perception of space. Taking visuals away from the restrictions of flat rectangular screens, he transforms flat surfaces, sculptures or buildings into hypnotizing canvasses to create immersive site-specific experiences. In his light canvases’ body of work, precise light beams coming from a projector pass over an array of rectangular structures printed on a flat aluminum surface. Darkness and illumination alternates to create an immersive three-dimensional experience transforming our sense of space. As Edward Rothstein wrote in the NY Times in 2011 in an article called "When Pictures Leap to Other Screens", there really is a thrill to these experiments. "You are amazed at the technology while being entranced by the effects. Moving images, though the familiar substance of experience, have only been created in recent centuries. They seem more real than still images, but are more artificial in themselves, even unsettling; they resemble experience but seem divorced from it, even supplanting it. And while a still image proclaims permanence, a moving image is evanescent. Whatever the medium, it also has unusual power to affect perceptions and inspire amazement".
