Dream-e-scape at Microwave Media Art Festival, Hong Kong

An Immersive Interactive Cinematic Art Installation by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger

"Blend make-believe with reality in “Dream-e-scape,” by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger. A room that manages to feel intimate and limitless at the same time.
As the walls shift into countless scenes ranging from the familiar (a tranquil coral reef) to the fantastical (a vortex of swirling cosmos), you’ll feel like you’ve tumbled down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
Your every movement and action in Dream-e-scape will unlock different scenarios and dreams.
Keep your eyes wide open as you make the art come alive!"
— Secret Los Angeles, June 29, 2022

"Dream-e-scape" is an interactive projection art installation about lucid dreams, created by filmmaker Laia Cabrera and multimedia artist Isabelle Duverger, in collaboration with interactive designer Aniol Saurina Masó and composer and instrumentalist Nana Simopoulos.

The piece is an immersive and interactive 360º installation about the mind and the search for awareness in which the public experiences a sensory voyage that captures the surreal nature of dreams, where the line is blurred between the physical and the digital world, between the real and the imaginary.

“Dream-e-scape” is based on the state of sleep, an imaginary journey one can experience with the eyes wide open. The piece explores the concept of Lucid Dream, the state in which we are asleep and become aware we are dreaming, and the ability we have to control the dreams, the agency we have over our thoughts and desires. We are testing reality, are we awake?

Conceived and Directed by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger

June 18, 2016: Aire, Visual Concert for Nomads in Poughkeepsie, NY

"Aire – Visual Concert for Nomads” is a cinematic, musical and poetic piece created and directed by Javier Moreno (composition, double bass) Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video artist) 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.

This project, forged in New York, searches new forms of expression within the creative frame of contemporary art. The creation of suggestive atmospheres sustains a collective pulse accentuated by the international diversity of its artists.

"Aire – Visual Concert for Nomads” is community event supported by NeighborWorks America and Arts Mid-Hudson, in cooperation with Poughkeepsie Open Studios.
The project is made possible with funds from the Decentralizated Program, a rectand program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo, and the New York State Legislature, and administrated by Art Mid-Hudson.

Our latest collaboration with Erica Glyn published in the Huffington Post!

“I felt like Dollars For Thieves was a complete work as opposed to 5 songs stacked back to back and wanted to create a unique experience for the record release party. I asked installation-video-artist Laia Cabrera and animator Isabelle Duverger if they would be interested in collaborating. They loved the EP and suggested we make an album-video. When they showed me what they had done, I was so excited and inspired by the duet between the music and the visuals, I knew we had to do something really special to really show it off. For the release party, we took over Matt Torrey’s bar in Bushwick by projecting the video on their wall of windows and immersed the audience in an epic multimedia journey.” - Erica Glyn with Mike Ragogna, Huffington Post, March 25, 2016

Watch Shifting Gaze V2 presented in Georgetown Glow, Washington DC, dec. 2015


Shifting Gaze at Georgetown Glow, DC, December 11-20, 2015 > WATCH VIDEO

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.
Shifting Gaze is comissioned by Georgetown Business Improvement District, and sponsored by Jamestown Properties and Georgetown Park with the support of Spain Arts and Culture.
