Rather than proposing connection, harmony, or repair, it situates both body and landscape within shared conditions of saturation, exhaustion, and delayed collapse. What is staged here is not crisis as an event,but instability as a condition. &nbsp; Dokzaal Amsterdam / CBK Zuidoost. &nbsp; &nbsp; → Team &nbsp; &nbsp; Pedro Matias - Production, direction, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ceramics, filming, editing&nbsp; &nbsp; Mathilde Renault - Filming, editing &nbsp; &nbsp; Tatiana Rosa - Trans-media interaction, &nbsp; &nbsp; sound composition&nbsp; &nbsp; Mauricio v.d.

The work draws parallels between labouring bodies, coral reefs at risk from bleaching, systemic anxiety, and pandemic-era touch deprivation. The multimedia installation combines visual, sonic, material, and textual elements to reflect on environmental anxiety and conditions of uncertainty.

The project mirrors this phenomenon by giving rise to five distinct collaborations, each linked to a different medium: text, sign language, sculpture, virtual reality, and installation. Stars serve as metaphors to explore themes of existence, relationships, and transformation. Each collaboration is inspired by a specific star of the Virgo constellation.

The Butterfly Effect is a multi-sensory installation in which visitors meet a former shooting star. By means of various processes of data translation, the 4.5 billion years old meteorite reveals its hidden genetics through light, sound, smell and video while presenting different stages of its path from Space to Earth.

Looking for strategies, she took a DNA test. The DNA of one individual can tell vastly about the history of colonization, immigration, and cultural exchanges. While visiting key ancestral locations she explored local grieving rituals. Combining scientific perspectives on grief and Brazilian genetic studies with the raw intimacy of first-person experiences, The Voluntary Psychopomp explores how ancient and modern practices help us process loss and remain connected across time and culture. The three-channel film portrays a contemporary psychopomp as a craftswoman: a guide navigating both the scientific and the spiritual, the personal and the collective, in an attempt to make sense of loss.

So, look around, inhale all the way, expand and contract rhythmically until you become a soft, sweaty rock, insides out, flirting your face off in the flowering colored lights of the abstract documentary that is the mutual rubbing of every virtual opposite redisassembled in the psychedelic combustion of vital transforomance. _ Angie Keefer &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;→ Team&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pedro Matias - Producer, Visual artist &nbsp; &nbsp; Mathilde Renault - Filmmaker, Editor &nbsp; &nbsp; Tatiana Rosa - Sound designer https://mathilde-renault.com/Info Thu, 30 Dec 2021 21:00:27 +0000 Mathilde Renault https://mathilde-renault.com/Info Somewhere on the horizon there is an emerging figure of the Planetary, repopulating intellectual narratives around the world: from postcolonial and decolonial thinking, through media theory and Western philosophy to design thinking and environmental studies.― Lukáš Likavčan Scope of work : Mathilde Renault is a mixed-media artist working with immersive installations. Her research based practice speculates upon sensory experiences derived from scientific data, natural phenomena and technological developments. Her intimate scenarios intertwine fictional and non-fictional realities in favor of ecological narratives.
