The eyes of Lousanouch

All over the walls of the asleep city. A common crane, passionate about geography spreads the pages of her giant atlas.

Inside, Lousanouch’s life, an Armenian child, is drawn on the maps. From the Ottoman Empire in 1915 to her arrival in France in 1935, we can see her grow up and survive the History swirl and the men’s madness.

At the crossroads between an object-book, cartooning and monumental video mapping, The Eyes of Lousanouch is an inventive show that offers an immersive and moving experience within the urban environment. Its device, “the Atlas Cinema”, allows the live manipulation of images and sounds. Animated cartographies and paintings, archive images, voices and original music celebrate an unknown memory in the public space.

artistic laboratorium

is an artistic laboratorium based in Nantes (FR), made up of musicians, graphic designers, developers, videographers and documentary makers.

We experiment with artistic forms that interact with human sciences and sociology, leading to a variety of performances, spectacles, interactive installations that question our society with a large audience.

We develop these formats in close collaboration with diverse actors of the civil society (researchers, associations, NGO, citizens…) and aim to spread their viewpoints as a full part of the creating process, situating reality alongside imagination. This research of new forms of narrations expresses the desire to create contemporary interactions between different fields and disciplines in society, in order to demonstrate the diversity of ways in which we can grasp society.

You can find on this page, a short presentation of some of our creations, spectacles, we are preparing more.

INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION

Moving beyond borders

The exhibition focus on the journeys of migrants while pointing devices that are responsible for these dangerous crossings in the Sahara, the Mediterranean Sea or the Eastern borders of the European Union.

– Photographs to depict the consequences of the security-focused management of migration issues, as observed in Europe and beyond.
– Soundscapes created by the artist collective Étrange Miroir, that also ideated the staging of the exhibition.

The exhibition is composed of 5 modules: the first three concern contemporary realities, the latter two refer to two opposite scenarios related to the possible changes in European migration policies.
