Views of La Face cachée de l’Archive , exhibition from archives of Parkett and Sigmar POLKE 📍The Tower, Galerie des archives , Luma Foundation, Arles ▪️ Installation iDzia : screens and video-projection "La Face cachée de l’Archive", Luma Arles The exhibition The Hidden Side of the Archive  offers a fascinating dive into the history of Parkett , a contemporary art periodical published between 1984 and 2017 in Zurich and New York. For over three decades, Parkett  played a key role in the dissemination of contemporary art, establishing itself as a bilingual publication (German and English) that brought together and presented internationally renowned artists. With its 101 issues and 270 artistic collaborations, the magazine is a true witness to the evolution of the art world and an open window into creative dialogues between various practices, cultures, and ways of thinking. Beyond its editorial role, Parkett  is also a living manifesto of contemporary art, providing a platform for debates, experiments, and reflections surrounding artists and their works. Each issue became a conversation between the artists themselves and with the communities surrounding art through writings, interviews, and visual projects. Parkett  thus played a vital role in documenting and highlighting the transformations that shaped the art world over time. Sigmar Polke, an iconic artist of the 20th century and close friend of the magazine, was involved with Parkett  from the start. Present at the launch of the first issue, Polke took on the role of documentarian, capturing this pivotal event with his 16mm camera, preserving valuable visual traces of a key period in contemporary art. His involvement in the history of Parkett  is significant, not only as a collaborating artist but also as an engaged witness to this unique editorial journey. The exhibition thus reflects this close relationship between the artist and the periodical, through unpublished archives and rare pieces that reveal the behind-the-scenes of this foundational project. At the Luma Foundation, visitors can discover fascinating visual archives displayed through video projections and interactive screens. These installations highlight the artistic contributions of Polke and many of the artists who collaborated with Parkett , offering an immersive and enriching experience. The archives not only reveal the evolution of the publication but also the interactions between artists, ideas, and movements that shaped the contemporary art scene. Through this exhibition, The Hidden Side of the Archive  invites us to rediscover the history of a periodical that left its mark on its time and to dive into the intimacy of its archives, while highlighting Sigmar Polke's indelible impact on 20th-century art. #Parkett #SigmarPolke #ContemporaryArt #Exhibition #Archives #iDzia #VideoProjection #LumaFoundation Read more From June, 26, 2021 to May, 01st, 2022 @luma_arles // @idzia_audiovisuel // @samsungfrance // @christiedigital

John AKOMFRAH, Four Noctures 📍The Tower, Luma Foundation, Arles ▪️ Installation iDzia : triptych video projection, 7.1 sound John AKOMFRAH, "Four Nocturnes" The three-screen video installation Four Nocturnes  by John Akomfrah is the third installment of a film trilogy, following Vertigo Sea  (2015) and Purple  (2017). These works explore the complex, intertwined relationship between the destruction of the natural world by humanity and our self-destruction. With Four Nocturnes , Akomfrah invites us into a poignant reflection on the human condition, examining how we interact with the natural world and the dramatic consequences of these interactions. The film centers around the tragic decline of African elephant populations, which serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of the global ecosystem and African cultural heritage. This biological tragedy becomes a metaphor for our own destruction, the decline of our societies, and our fragmented identities. Through strong, poetic imagery, the artist invites viewers into an impressionistic meditation on mortality, loss, identity, mythology, and memory, navigating the landscape of African cultural heritage. The three-screen projection allows for multiple perspectives and creates an immersive experience for the viewer. Using a high-quality 7.1 audio system, the installation offers a complete sensory experience that envelops the audience. The sound, images, and colors combine to create a captivating visual and auditory journey, where each screen, shot, and movement adds emotional and intellectual depth that resonates long after the projection ends. The visuals of Four Nocturnes  stand out for their raw poetry, capturing the essence of the African landscape and its cultures while addressing the universal themes of collective memory and heritage. The images seem to tell timeless stories, while confronting us with our responsibility in the destruction of our planet and its inhabitants. Through this work, John Akomfrah succeeds in touching on a wide range of societal and environmental issues, evoking sincere and profound emotion from the viewer. Four Nocturnes  is an invitation to look within ourselves and become aware of our place in the world, both as individuals and as a collective. It is a work that questions our relationship with nature, memory, and loss, while confronting us with the urgency to preserve our environment and redefine our relationship with the planet. #JohnAkomfrah #FourNocturnes #ContemporaryArt #VideoArt #iDzia #Exhibition #LumaFoundation #Artivism #Nature Read more from June, 26, 2021 to May, 1st, 2022 @luma_arles // @idzia_audiovisuel // @fohhn_audio_ag // @epsonfrance

Vernissage of the exhibition Abd el-Kader 📍MuCEM, Marseille ▪️ Installation iDzia : the sound, the light, the stage Vernissage "Abd el-Kader", MuCEM The exhibition presented at MuCEM shines a light on the figure of Abd el-Kader, highlighting his historical and intellectual significance. Through the most recent research, new sources, and unpublished collections, it traces the chronological thread of his life and explores key aspects of his personality and actions. Beyond the praise and criticism he received, the ongoing fascination he inspires invites a deeper understanding of his human experience, which is rich in lessons for both present and future generations. Abd el-Kader, a 19th-century Algerian military and spiritual leader, represents a central figure in the history of resistance to colonization. His journey intertwines military, spiritual, and intellectual dimensions, marked by periods of glory and decline, and it has profoundly shaped the history of both Algeria and France. The goal of this exhibition is to restore a full understanding of this complex and often misunderstood figure by offering a more nuanced and human perspective on his life. The opening of the exhibition, attended by an engaged and passionate audience, was a significant event. The technical installations provided by iDzia played a crucial role in showcasing the exhibition. With state-of-the-art sound equipment, we created an immersive atmosphere that allowed visitors to fully immerse themselves in the story of Abd el-Kader. The lighting highlighted the objects, photographs, and historical documents on display, creating both dramatic and poetic atmospheres in perfect harmony with the exhibition’s theme. Video projections allowed spectators to delve into key moments of his life while offering enriching visual perspectives on his legacy. This work was carefully executed, considering both the exhibition's objectives and the sensory experience of the visitors. The exhibition is open from April 6 to August 22, 2022, and aims to be a place for reflection, memory, and cultural dialogue. It is an event not to be missed for those looking to discover or rediscover the life and work of Abd el-Kader through a modern and enriching approach. #dbaudiotechnik #yamahaproaudio #astera #cameo #robelighting #vernissage #opening

📍Théâtre Antique, Arles ▪️ iDzia installation : the sound, the light Michel FAU, "Georges Dandin" The Ensemble Marguerite Louise , conducted by Gaétan Jarry , is here in perfect harmony with the actors directed by Michel Fau , who also plays the role of George Dandin . This production of George Dandin , a comedy by Molière, takes a unique turn under the direction of Michel Fau, a comic actor and opera director known for his bold stage productions where the line between laughter and unease is often thin. In this version, Fau brings out the darkness and absurdity hidden beneath the apparent lightness of the play. The character of Dandin, although comical in his role as a deceived bourgeois, becomes here an unsettling figure, symbolizing the illusion of a world where social satire flirts with anxiety. Michel Fau, true to his style, does not hesitate to accentuate the contrasts between the grotesque and the tragic. In his staging, laughter is never far from vertigo, and the actors constantly oscillate between exuberance and anxiety. The interactions between the characters take on a particular intensity, especially as they are enhanced by Fau's masterful performance in the leading role. The ambiguity of Dandin's character, between the ridiculous and the pathetic, finds a deep resonance in the atmosphere created by the staging, where comedy turns into something darker. The baroque aesthetic, carefully chosen for this production, underscores the richness and complexity of the characters. The costumes, designed by the famous designer Christian Lacroix , add an extra layer of refinement to the whole. The sumptuous dresses and period clothing not only reinforce the historical dimension of the work but also highlight the contrast between appearance and reality, between grandeur and the moral decay of the characters. These visual elements, combined with the sound and light direction by iDzia , create an immersive and sophisticated environment. iDzia , with its sound and light installation, plays a key role in this production. The sound, subtle and enveloping, accompanies each scene, amplifying the absurdity of the situations and the intensity of emotions. The lighting effects, on the other hand, emphasize contrasts, casting shadows that underline the darker and sometimes grotesque aspects of the play. This synergy between the stage, sound, and light contributes to the power of this adaptation of George Dandin , where comedy gives way to an underlying discomfort, offering the audience a unique theatrical experience.

Sky HOPINKA: maɬni – towards the ocean, towards the shore 📍La Grande Halle, Luma Foundation, Arles ▪️ iDzia installation : the sound, the structure Sky HOPINKA: "maɬni – towards the ocean, towards the shore" maɬni – towards the ocean, towards the shore  is an experimental and poetic documentary by Sky Hopinka, following two young Indigenous people from the Pacific Northwest, Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier. Through their voices, in both English and Chinuk Wawa, they share their reflections and questions about their American life in relation to their Indigenous identity. The film offers a sensitive exploration of contemporary Native American life, addressing themes of identity, belonging, and cultural memory. This contemplative and meditative film is structured around a slow and calming rhythm, inspired by the natural elements present in the protagonists' world, especially water. Each image and sound is carefully arranged to convey the deep connection between the characters and nature, while also echoing the Chinook myths about the cycles of life and death. These ancient stories resonate with the daily lives of the young people, highlighting the importance of passing down knowledge and values, as well as the profound bond between humanity and the land. Sky Hopinka’s work is a visual and auditory meditation, inviting us to reflect on the place of Indigenous culture in the modern world, while questioning the tensions between integration into American society and the preservation of cultural roots. The beauty of the film lies in its ability to capture this reflection in an intimate and poetic way, while honoring the richness and depth of Indigenous heritage. On July 3rd, 2022, the film was presented at La Grande Halle  of the Luma Foundation  in Arles, as part of the foundation’s cultural events. This screening was made possible through collaboration with iDzia , who handled the sound and technical structure installation, allowing for full immersion in the film’s visual and auditory world.
