We're delighted to announce that the new kinetic, sound and visual installation by our artistic director Jean-François Laporte will be premiered at the 40th anniversary of the FIMAV festival (Festival international de musique actuelle de Victoriaville) in Victoriaville from May 13 to 19, 2024. For the occasion, we present a sneak preview of the installation as our video of the month!

Spirituel features a kinetic installation of twelve mechanical devices made up of stainless steel bowls, small motorized propellers, lights and microphone tripods. 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 imagination and introspection into our individual relationship with spirituality.

We would like to acknowledge the work of Jean-François Laporte's in conceptualizing, producing and capturing this video. Diego Bermudez Chamberland for his help with the video capture. We also congratulate the entire team at La Conserve Média for their exceptional editing and video capture of this video.
