Shifting Gaze: A film Installation about Choice, Desire & Memory

Laia Cabrera & Co (Laia Cabrera + Isabelle Duverger) and Erica Glyn, New York, NY.

Location: C&O Canal wall, at 1064 Wisconsin Avenue, NW at the rear of Georgetown Park.

Shifting Gaze is a film-art-music installation about choice, desire and memory conceived and directed by Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video artist) and created in collaboration with Erica Glyn (music, composer and singer) and Isabelle Duverger (animation and mapping). Shifting Gaze is a film about identity, about making choices, a memory in act.

Drawing from the body, faces, urban patterns, nature and remains of activity, the piece explores a notion of choice, linked to desire and memory –choice being the present, memory representing the past and desire, the drive for a future. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception.

This year’s exhibition encourages contemplation of, and interaction with, the natural and built environment. The intimate, historic C&O Canal –a beautiful, meditative waterway reminiscent of Georgetown’s founding as a port town and located just steps from bustling M Street– is the anchor and inspiration for the site-specific works. The C&O Canal, the “spine” of Georgetown, was erected in 1828 to carry goods westward. Today, it is a National Park Service property and a destination for recreation and respite. Visitors are encouraged to reflect as they are transported.

Five local, regional, and international artists will show commissioned light-art works inspired by the historic C&O Canal during the second annual Georgetown GLOW exhibition in Georgetown. In its second year, GLOW will expand from a weekend-long celebration to a 10-day exhibition with works lit nightly from 6-10 pm. In addition to the light works, GLOW 2015 includes an Artists’ Talk on December 12, live entertainment, store promotions and more.

Kavli HUMAN Project Documentary

Video created by Laia Cabrera & Co.
Shot in New York, Boston and Washington DC.

"Until now, large-scale longitudinal studies of people have been focused on specific domains of inquiry or subsets of the population, providing detailed catalogs of important but narrow aspects of human health and behavior, such as cardiovascular health or financial decision making. Thanks to the support of The Kavli Foundation, the Kavli HUMAN Project (KHP) will be the first true study of all of the factors that make humans... human. The KHP capitalizes on recent advances in technology and data analytics to gather information on individuals across a broad array of domains—neuroscience, genetics, medicine, psychology, economics, sociology, and urban informatics—over an extended period of time. This approach will yield the first “360-degree view” of the dynamic patterns and feedback mechanisms between human behavior, biology, and environment across the lifespan in a single group of subjects. A new comprehensive view of how these forces interact will enable the development of theories, therapeutics, and policies that improve the health and quality of human life." Kavli HUMAN Project

Aire: Visual Concert for Nomads at Art All Night - Nuit Blanche DC 2015

“Aire – Visual Concert for Nomads” is a cinematic, musical and poetic piece created and directed Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video artist) and Javier Moreno (composition, double bass) in collaboration with Isabelle Duverger (animation and projection mapping) that travels through time and space, for those seeking permanently, never having the feeling of forever.

The piece is designed as a site-specific visual concert, conceived from an original musical suite and developed as collaboration into an allegory of images and immersive video mapped projection design on an architectural space.

Exploring the nomadic nature of our lives in a geographical and emotional level, we invite the viewer on an adventure through the senses, where love and traveling are intertwined in an inseparable way, telling the story of the ephemeral and the eternal.

Laia Cabrera: film director, filmmaker and video artist
Javier Moreno: Musical Director, Composer and double bass
Isabelle Duverger: projection mapping, visuals and animation
Musicians: Amy Kang, cello; Amanda Lo, violin; Roman Filiú, alto sax; George Dulin, keys; Jeff Davis, drums
