Inspired by the Icelandic volcano, which wreaked travel havoc across Europe in May 2010, Joanie Lemercier presents
the latest incarnation of its audiovisual mapping project. Painted directly onto a large wall, a wire-framed scenery
is slowly revealed by gentle light effects. The audience’s sense are progressively challenged as optical illusions question
their perception of space.
