You’re invited! 🌟Join me at 4bid Gallery on October 5 and 6 (12:00-20:00) for Seeing Quintuple, an immersive installation that brings together text, sign language, sculpture, virtual reality, and installation design to explore deep themes of existence, perception, and transformation.I’d love to see you there!Tatiana

The installation features the voice of Angelo Custódio, the expressive Dutch sign poetry of Ilse Jobse through the lens of Thomas Brand, and the speculative fiction of André Lourenço. These elements come to life alongside Pedro Matias’ sculptures, Giulia Principe’s immersive VR environment, and Mathilde Renault’s installation design. My own music compositions unite all these elements, resonating with the cosmic rhythms and the intricate dance of celestial bodies.
About Seeing Quintuple
Seeing Quintuple is a multidisciplinary artistic installation that draws inspiration from gravitational lensing, a phenomenon where light bends around massive celestial objects. The project mirrors this phenomenon by giving rise to five distinct iterations, each linked to a different medium: text, sign language, sculpture, virtual reality, and installation. In this work, stars serve as metaphors for exploring themes of existence, relationships, and transformation.
Each iteration 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.
About 4bid Gallery4bid is a non-profit space, a project and a platform with a special attention to the encounter between visual and performance arts.We think that art and culture, when approached critically, have a positive impact on society. We strive to bring consciousness about current social situations by sharing and distributing personal and general knowledge through development of a culture that is dynamic and evolves as we speak: temporary.We like to interact and engage with artistic research with a critical mind-set. Being critical is an approach but not only. Critical culture for us is a metaphor for a critical moment on a timeline, a crisis between points of view, a collision of times and spaces.We develop and support projects and researches with the aim of reaching out to a micro / medium geographic range, wishing to connect on a personal level through dialogue and aiming to sensitise collaborators and audiences to non capitalistic bodies and minds.We consider it important to nurture a multidisciplinary environment where a variety of artistic practices can question each other and their relation to contemporary art and society.We believe in a culture that is not elitist and therefore should be accessible to all.
