Unforeseen Spaces

ISEA2023 - Symbiosis 2023

Unforeseen Spaces proposes the experience of a vast reality at bird's height. The viewer contemplates a territory with floating borders that come to life and sometimes touch him, thus delivering, in the form of a whispered voice and events, a non-linear fictional narrative where the relationship to the other seems to define new possibilities.

Unforeseen Spaces is part of a set initially developed for the Contemporary Art Center Les Tanneries. This virtual reality experience remains connected to its park thanks to a system of microphone detecting the presence of birds and identifying them. In fact, with Unforeseen Spaces, Marie Lelouche has created an artificial territory inspired by knowledge and practices linking humans to birds, aware of the difficulties of creating a common future. Interested in the latest publications in interspecies ethology research, she has set up a singular and abstract experience where the modalities of interactions as well as the movements of things lead us into a world where the rules remain to be discovered and defined.

In Unforeseen Spaces, the territory is mutable and seems to respond to laws that require it to be sung to exist. Indeed, the presence of birds is manifest here since each cry, each song perceived in the park of the Art Center activates the movement of the images under the appearance of large translucent and moving curtains, where patterns of feathers and human skins intermingle. Thus, in this vast reality, at bird's height, the spectator contemplates a territory with floating borders that come to life and sometimes touch him, thus delivering, in the form of a whispered voice and events, a non-linear fictional narrative where the relationship with the other seems to define new possibilities.
