Matt Copson Installation , High Art gallery
The High Art Gallery presented an exceptional installation by British artist Matt Copson at the Chapelle de la Madeleine from October 20 to December 2, 2023. This young, renowned artist, known for his experimental and avant-garde approach, staged a three-act laser opera in the form of an initiatory journey, combining both timeless elements and a modern, synthetic aesthetic. Copson’s work invites the viewer into a total sensory experience, where the art of light and sound merges into a fascinating dialogue. The sonic accompaniment to this unique opera was provided by the talented Caroline Polachek, a British composer and singer, whose music fills the space with captivating harmonies, further enhancing the immersive and dreamlike aspect of the installation.
IDzia was privileged to be involved in this ambitious artistic project, bringing its expertise in lighting and sound design. The installation, located in the Chapelle de la Madeleine, a place rich in history and emotion, was transformed through the subtle use of light and sound, offering a complete immersion into a mystical and futuristic world. The chapel, a place of spirituality and heritage, blended perfectly with the modern elements of the installation, creating a striking contrast and a harmonious synergy between the past and the present.
Light played an essential role in this experience. The projected lasers created dynamic forms that seemed to evolve with the story being told, transporting viewers into a parallel universe. Caroline Polachek’s sounds, both enchanting and impactful, enhanced this immersion, guiding the audience through a journey that was both personal and universal. Each act of the laser opera brought its own discoveries, with visual and auditory sensations that defied the traditional expectations of contemporary art.
This innovative and experimental project, combining light, sound, and history, allowed art to transcend the boundaries of space, creating an experience where both the artist and the audience found themselves at the center of a collective exploration of perception and memory. The exhibition was a resounding success, captivating visitors and leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to witness this unique experience.
