Vanimentis creature
A scenographic transmedia work
Concept, artistic direction, visual and scenographic creation : Golnaz Behrouznia
Sound creation and interactive design : François Donato
Vanimentis is a sonified scenographic path around three installations presenting a fictitious creature : «Vanimentis».
By moving from one installation to the other, we discover different states of this imaginary being inspired by the marine world and the micro-organisms. At the heart of this sounding and visual universe, between art and science, the visitors wander on the will of the interactions with Vanimentis which is gradually evolving, changing or appears inside a colony.
Each piece of this scenography refers to a specific relationship between the image and its medium, and echoes some representations of the animal life that we may face to. They compose a narrative that leads us from the usual exhibition space to the opening on an imaginary world, from the Vanimentis memory to its real life in its native environment.
The generative soundscape which envelops the visitors in their walking, allows an immersion in Vanimentis universe and foster the perception of the creature life context.
Sound, as a global landscape, refers to the visual poetry of the project as well as to its narrative dimension. It amplifies its materiality by impregnating the whole venue.
