ACQUA ALTA - CROSSING THE MIRROR
Adrien M & Claire B (FR)
⇨ TEATRO CAMÕES - Foyer
23 SEPTEMBER TO 31 OCTOBER ⇨ Free Admission
Thursday and Friday, from 2pm to 7pm | Saturday and Sunday, from 10.30am to 1.30pm and from 2.30pm to 4.30pm
On 7, 8, 9 and 10 October the exhibition is closed.
A pop-up book whose drawings and paper volumes are the décor of a story, visible in augmented reality.
Looking through a tablet or a smartphone, the ten double-pages of the book Acqua Alta become the stage for a short dance performance - thanks to a custom-made augmented reality application.
Created by Adrien M & Claire B, the masters of giving life to images, it tells the story of a woman, a man, a house. A daily routine, absurd and filled with discrepancies. But one wet rainy day, their life is turned upside down: the rising waters drown their home in an ink-coloured sea. The woman slips and disappears. Only her hair remains, and it is alive. It tells the tale of a disaster, unique and universal. It tells of losing and searching. It tells of the fear of the bizarre and otherness, and how to tame it.
Awards:
- Excellence Award in the Art division of the 2021 Japan Media Arts Festival.
- Special AR jury award at the 2021 NewImages Festival in Paris.
- Award in the Interactive Experience category for the 2020 CITIC Press Lightening Selection.
