Maria HASSANI, CANCELLED 📍The Landscaped Park, Luma Foundation, Arles ▪️ iDzia installation : the sound, multicasting for sound creation The Gardens of the Luma Foundation  in Arles  served as the setting for a unique artistic experience, showcasing the sound work of artist and choreographer Maria Hassabi . For this occasion, Fohhn LX11 speakers  were placed on the grass, amplifying the impact of the performance within this natural and welcoming environment. These speakers, with their precise diffusion capabilities, provided an immersive sound experience, perfectly aligned with the work created by Hassabi during her residency at the Luma Foundation . Maria Hassabi , an artist renowned for her exploration of the limits of the body and movement, spent three months in residence at the foundation. At the end of this period, she presented her performance titled CANCELLED , a conceptual work that combines the body , time , and immobility  in a deep reflection on the human condition. CANCELLED  challenges the notions of time  and human dynamism , exploring the idea of prolonged immobility and slowness as ways to address questions of perception and the transformation of the body in space. The performance was built around the concept of the absence of rapid movement and the importance of stillness in the creative process. By playing with extremely slow tempos, Maria Hassabi created a work that plunges the audience into a reflection on the passage of time and how the human figure evolves and interacts with its environment. This experience highlighted subtle contrasts between the stillness of the body and the enveloping sounds created by the multidirectional sound diffusion , allowing the audience to perceive nuances invisible to the naked eye but powerfully present through the sound. The sound installation by iDzia  played a key role in enhancing this work. With multidirectional sound diffusion, the spectators were immersed in a rich acoustic atmosphere, creating a resonance that reinforced the hypnotic effect of the performance. The sound diffusion technology enabled spatialization of sound, which accompanied and amplified the experience of slowness and immobility, making the performance even more poignant. Thus, Maria Hassabi's CANCELLED  was a unique experience where sound, stillness, and movement intertwined, offering the audience a profound reflection on time, the body, and human perception in an environment filled with calm and serenity.

It invites viewers to explore invisible parts of our world, particularly representations of natural environments and animal species. The exhibition features innovative artists such as Joan Jonas and Sturtevant, presenting pioneering works that use drawing, performance, and video installation.

In this context, Sturtevant , a pioneering artist, stands out with a piece that addresses deep questions regarding perception, representation, and impermanence. By using various media, including drawing, performance, and video, Sturtevant delves into ideas of the ephemeral, the elusive, and disappearance. Her works tackle profound issues related to humanity’s relationship with the natural environment and the extinction of species, themes that resonate strongly in today’s ecological context. The iDzia  installation, an integral part of this exhibition, enhances and intensifies the experience with a striking visual and auditory setup. Comprising four synchronized soft edge  video projections and accompanied by high-quality stereo sound, the installation immerses the viewer into Sturtevant's universe. The technical setup, supported by top-tier equipment such as Focal  for audio and Epson  for projections, ensures exceptional quality, further enriching the overall sensory experience. Sturtevant’s work in The Impermanent Display II  plunges us into bold perspectives on processes without a beginning or an end, inviting reflection on eternity and the ephemeral through powerful symbols. The fantastical and mythical creatures she evokes, while drawing from popular culture and visual representations, prompt questions about the cycles of life and death, as well as the ideas of disappearance and resilience in the face of impermanence. Sturtevant's works, with their multiple layers of meaning, encourage deep reflection on humanity's impact on the planet, the extinction of species, and the complex relationship between art, nature, and time. In this exhibition, the power of symbolism and the intensity of the video installation allow us to grasp the essence of these contemporary issues while offering a space for escape and contemplation in the fragile beauty of our world.

Gary HILL, Circular Breathing 📍East Gallery - The Tower, Luma Foundation, Arles ▪️ iDzia installation : Stereo sound, 2 Genelec Smart Active Monitor speakers / ERCO lighting Gary HILL, "Circular Breathing" Circular Breathing  by Gary Hill, presented at the Galerie Est - La Tour, Fondation Luma in Arles, captivated visitors with its evocative power and enigmatic atmosphere. The installation, showcased from September 23, 2022, to March 5, 2023, immerses the audience in a universe where images and sounds blend to create a unique sensory experience. Through a series of successive scenes, Hill weaves a fragmented narrative, intertwining images, sounds, and movements that provoke both fascination and questioning. In Circular Breathing , each image seems to overlap with the next, creating a sense of strangeness that gradually dissipates over time. Scenes of bustling streets in Tangier, a ship sailing on the high seas, and the interior of a mosque merge with more intimate moments, such as a man chopping wood or a cigarette slowly burning down in an ashtray. These juxtapositions of images plunge us into a play of temporality and perception, where each scene feels both familiar and strange. The slow movements, like that of an elderly woman absorbed in her reading or large, thick hands loading a pistol, contrast with close-up shots of grass blades and an insect dragging its prey, creating a balance between the everyday and the mysterious. At the heart of this installation, the hands of a woman playing the piano echo throughout the work, providing a musical and visual continuity. The music, although distorted by changes in speed that disrupt its rhythm, is recognizable as Vexations  by Erik Satie, a piece known for its hypnotic repetitiveness. This distortion of the music, enhanced by the iDzia  sound installation with its stereo sound, two Genelec Smart Active Monitors, and ERCO lighting, intensifies the sensory experience. The resonance of sound and the modulation of light create total immersion, where both the listener and the viewer find themselves in a state of temporal suspension. Through Circular Breathing , Gary Hill does more than layer images and sounds: he invites the viewer to undergo an introspective experience, where time, perception, and emotion blend and transform. The installation, despite its apparent simplicity, touches on deep questions of memory, identity, and reality while offering an intense exploration of the senses. This work fascinates with its ability to capture attention while leaving room for interpretation, making it an unforgettable experience for those fortunate enough to witness it.
