Joanie Lemercier has been expanding the possibilities of light as a medium and space as a canvas for the past 10 years. After exploring languages like video mapping, live shows and gallery installations in Constellations he uses an unlikely material to present his meticulous work: water.
This show becomes a gate for the exploration of the cosmos. 3D like visuals allow the audience to move from the heart of a black hole into deep space, travelling through planets and stars, as we look for the limits of the universe.
Constellations is a fascinating journey where the vectorial, monochromatic aesthetics of Lemercier dialogues with the electronic soundscapes of producer Paul Jebanasam.
