In this installation, the artist-physicist and digital artisan Maxime Houot asks us what “peace of mind” might mean in a post-pandemic world in the midst of change. With its row of lasers filling the space with beams of red light, Ataraxie explores the void of the unknown in order to question the way we live. A powerful and immersive work.

Ataraxie means ‘peace of mind’. In this new installation from Maxime Houot the artist asks us to question what this might mean in a changed and still changing post-pandemic world. A row of lasers fills the space with beams of red light that first form simple crosses, before building up complex, tesseract-like structures. Ataraxie investigates the void of the unknown and asks us whether we might fill it with the comforting and familiar, or find fresh ways to live.
