For this iteration, Seeing Quintuple will take a new form, as the elements representing the stars Zaniah and Vindemiatrix will not be present. We will miss Pedro Matias’ pulsating sculptures, as well as the compelling videos co-directed with Thomas Brand and performed by Ilse Jobse.
However, you can still experience other essential elements of the installation.This iteration focuses on three stars:
✨ Porrima – Written by André Lourenço and voiced by Angelo Custódio, this piece reflects on the binary nature of the Porrima star system, exploring the delicate balance between solitude and connection.
✨ Minelauva – A virtual reality experience created with Giulia Principe that allows the audience to embody the star’s journey through its various life stages—from nebula to white dwarf—while its shifting luminosity is transformed into a pulsating sonic composition that echoes its rhythmic fluctuations.
✨ Spica – Developed with Mathilde Renault, reflects the duality and convergence of opposites symbolized by this double-star system. The intricate dance of its stars mirrors the interconnectedness of various artistic mediums, illustrating how their gravitational pull shapes their evolution.
About Shaping Bonds
The artists, filmmakers and thinkers that are part of Shaping Bonds, each shed light on the different shapes connections or networks can have. Collectively they help us see our future is not foreclosed so we can imagine ways out of societal structures we find ourselves in.Shaping Bonds is a five-day program that explores the material relationships that shape our world. Through films, installations, and the immersive experience Symbiosis, it delves into the connections between humans, nature, and other living beings. From a philosophical film that challenges how we perceive nature to a mesmerizing audiovisual journey into the world of rocks and minerals, the program reveals how these interactions shape our environment and daily lives. It invites us to reconsider how we live, adapt, and coexist in a world that is constantly in flux.
About Seeing Quintuple
Seeing Quintuple is a multidisciplinary installation inspired by gravitational lensing, a phenomenon where light bends around massive celestial objects. The project mirrors this phenomenon by giving rise to five distinct collaborations, each linked to a different medium: text, sign language, sculpture, virtual reality, and installation. Stars serve as metaphors to explore themes of existence, relationships, and transformation.
Each collaboration is inspired by a specific star:
Vindemiatrix: Together with Ilse Jobse and Thomas Brand, this trilogy of films explores humanity's thirst for knowledge, illustrating perception through its logical (Apollonian) and instinctual (Dionysian) sides.
Zaniah: Pedro Matias’s sculptures represent a triple-star system, reflecting the instability and fluid dynamics of non-hierarchical systems, with the audience becoming part of this expanding complexity.
Porrima: Scripted by André Lourenço and voiced by Angelo Custódio, this piece reflects on the binary essence of Porrima’s star system, mirroring the delicate balance between solitude and connection.
Minelauva: In collaboration with Giulia Principe, this virtual reality experience allows the audience to embody the life cycle of a star, from its birth to its final transformation, all set to the rhythm of my musical compositions.
Spica: Created in collaboration with Mathilde Renault, the installation reflects the duality and convergence of opposites symbolized by this double-star system. The intricate dance of its stars mirrors the interconnectedness of various artistic mediums, illustrating how their gravitational pull shapes their evolution.Supported by
