April to August 2016: Genius Loci Weimar Video Installation Exhibition


Our latest video installation in Weimar, Germany, in the itinerary exhibition "Genius Loci" at the Goethe National Museum and more (see itinerary below). The installation is designed for the Tempelherrenhaus miniature model.

Created and designed by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger
Artistic Director: Laia Cabrera
Video Mapping & Animation: Isabelle Duverger
Sound Design: Laia Cabrera & Co. and Erica Glyn
Performers: Jonathan Royse Windham
, Catherine Correa, and Rosa Godia Cabrera

The piece is about the transitory nature of life and our intent to grasp, capture the instant. We were inspired by the transformations and history the Tempelherrenhaus has lived through.

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.
Shifting Gaze at GLOW, film installation projected on the main Wall of the Georgetown Canal as a site-specific immersive video mapped installation.
