You enter the room which is in semi-darkness. A voice guides you, invites you to sit down. You look in the mirror. See the reflection and beyond it.
Souvenirs anamorphiques (Anamorphic Memories) questions the possibility of representing reality. Starting from a series of introspective images, the installation tries to recompose an objective vision of ordinary situations: to reflect the real with the multiple points of view that always exist simultaneously and that give rise to an infinity of interpretations.
Isa Balog has created a hybrid artistic work, in which he combines new media techniques with performance and optical theatre. An experience that unfolds progressively in three stages, the multimedia installation integrates the viewer giving them time and space to contemplate reality.
Isa Balog is a multidisciplinary artist, based in France. She has been exploring through different media the representation of realities that she calls floating. She graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca in 2007, and her first projects focused on the practice of drawing and painting. She gradually began to integrate the presence of the body in movement and to add a video dimension to her works.
Souvenirs anamorphiques it is the first of a cycle of works that explore the concept of the myth of the eternal return. Isa’s multimedia project was developed and produced with the support and collaboration of: Dicrèam CNC / Direction de la Culture -Rennes Métropole / French Institute / Centrul de Interes / A+Project Space / Béton Caverne / Ateliers du vent / Scopitone & Cie.
The performative exhibition was organised in partnership with Institut français de Roumanie à Bucarest.
