"Claim Your Place” is a video-installation created for large scale outdoor or indoor spaces that sits somewhere between filmmaking, theater-dance, digital art and sound design.

This project explores beauty, desire and violence. It emerged from an encounter between Nuria Legarda and Laia Cabrera, two innovate Spanish/Catalan artists and creators. The video installation performance surrounds the audience with real-time projections as well as pre-recorded ones, putting them center stage and takes the audience on a unique journey by merging cinematic art, dance, photography, theater and visual arts. The various physical and virtual elements of Claim Your Place creates a sensorial landscape of storytelling.

Sunday Dec 13 2009: WALK PASA BOUGE at Issue Project Room, Brooklyn, NYC

WALK – PASA – BOUGE is visually designed to expand and refract literary texts, weaving disparate sources and forms into a seamless theatrical whole between all performers. The show is partly improvised, fusing electronic music with visuals created using both traditional techniques and digital technologies. Using highly unique and unusual setups, the visual artists may be following the music or creating a separate line of parallel play with the aerialist, to be viewed by the multi-tasking mind of the 21st century viewer.

Artists:
Laia Cabrera (visual artist and independent film-maker from Spain, based in New York)
Maite San Juan (aerial artist and actress from Barcelona, based in Brussels)
Isabelle Duverger (photographer and designer from Paris based in NY)
Brice Malahude ( musician and sound designer from Paris, based in Brussels)

June 8th, 2009: "Until There" by Laia Cabrera, For Feather and Isabelle Duverger

June 8, 2009: “Until There” with Laia Cabrera with For Feather
Catalan Video-Artist performs live with Brooklyn Indie Rock Band For Feather and French Illustrator Isabelle Duverger “Until There” starts with images and movement as a visual storytelling, a sensual journey of the imaginary world of the filmmaker and visual artist, Laia Cabrera.
Four screens with two video streams will surround you with a unique visual experience of timelessness and human landscape. She uses a variety of media: projected imagery merging cinematic arts, dance, photography, theater, visual arts, writing etc...
As a part of the performance, Laia Cabrera will be working with visuals and drawing animation by Isabelle Duverger projected live in conjunction with indie pop/rock For Feather. The band has mastered the art of turning the mundane into the marvelous. Quirky melodies pull rather than push the listener, keeping things light with spacious harmonies evoking the early Beatles.
