Our artistic director Jean-François Laporte will present his new installation Spirituel at the Fimav festival from May 13 to 19 in downtown Victoriaville.

The work features twelve mechanical devices made up of stainless steel bowls, small motorized propellers, light effects and microphone tripods. Centered on the idea of circular movement, everything is in rotation. From its circular layout to its use of propellers whirling around the bowls, the installation converges on cyclicity. It also reuses commonplace everyday objects to reveal their aesthetic, even hypnotic, properties.

The result is an immersive space of sound and light, where the public is free to move around, guided by their senses. All evocations are permitted in this abstract exploration of spirituality. Without referring to a specific religion or cult, the work's shifting harmonies can be reminiscent of church bells or Tibetan singing bowls. It thus invites the imagination and introspection into our individual relationship with spirituality.
