The ENĒRGEIA installation is an immersive documentary experience, a wandering without beginning or end in an open world. Freed from the laws of weightlessness, the visitor is invited to explore with a subjective camera a ghostly building, the structure of which is revealed as it progresses.
From 3D scans made in several nuclear fission and fusion power plants in France, the artist Ugo Arsac recreates composite spaces. Through the presence of several interviews with specialists, the project raises questions about energy prospects. The interviews reveal the complexity of the issues related to the use of energy, at the ecological, economic and geopolitical levels.
Offering a multiplicity of points of view, engineers, physicists or researchers, talk to us about sustainable development, but also about our relationship to living things and social organization. These interviews, triggered by the visual intention of the visitor, resonate in the corridors of these labyrinthine architectures.
This project is a continuation of Ugo Arsac's research around underground spaces and infrastructures, both human and architectural. This reflection continues here around energy infrastructures and the social and political organization that underlies their use.
