The name Trans-parens is composed of the prefix Trans, which means “beyond” and "through" which raises the idea of passage or mutation. The suffix is from the Latin word Parens and means "what appears". This installation is composed of three separate videos. It is a visual and sound experience. With my work I tried answering the following question: can we materialize the invisible; the invisible being understood as the radiant energy behind all things?

I used fragmented pieces of coloured glass and continuous light to create abstract forms in an intuitive and explorative way. This work is rooted in the desire to explore creative and tangible forces, those autonomous and unconscious manifestations of the invisible found within each one of us.

I created these imaginary forms thanks to moving lights that were placed underneath the sheets of glass and captured by my camera using long-exposures. The photographs obtained were then edited into video sequences and displayed as a three-part installation. Inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s famous poem: Correspondence, Synesthesia, a large-scale photographic wall projection, is a sort of huge stained glass window illusion of some sacred place or temple. I tried to understand how the relationship between image and sound works.

I then attempted to exhaust any indexical signs by altering the original sequence Synethesia. The results are Shamanic Dance, a video projected close to the floor and Protozoë, projected onto a ceiling. The viewer has no choice but to confront himself with the limits of abstraction.

By altering the original images, sounds, and light the visual landmarks were dissolved: new forms and shapes slowly appeared and disappeared.

I then asked myself what is the importance of the creative artistic act and more specifically the intervention of the artist’s body and gestures?

Anamorphic and mirror playing transformed still images into moving images triggering a synesthetic sensorial experience which, in turn, transformed the viewer world’s perception. This induced a state of trance. This state is equivalent to that of the artist’s creative experience.

An artist’s action is experimental. He acts as a medium thanks to his own and unique creative gestures and by being in touch with his own sensoriality. He thus becomes a « container of images », a “living medium” that produces, perceives, or remembers images, as does the viewer.
