Inspace by Béatrice de Fays
An exhibition creating an immersive experience between the material reality of painting and the digital universe of Augmented Reality by French-Belgian artist Béatrice de Fays.
Venue: Galerie Romain Rolland, Alliance Française de Delhi
Exhibition on view: 2 – 19 March
Exhibition timings: 11:00 am to 7: 00 pm
This artwork is composed of 12 paintings from which a story unfolds in augmented reality inspired by the granite rocks of Hyderabad on the Deccan plateau. Titled “Inspace”, the paintings narrate the story of a woman in Hyderabad. But what sets this apart is Beatrice’s use of AR. In this series, a visitor sees 12 entities, spaces and energies: the Buddha of the rocks, the dragonfly, the tree, the source, the rest, the dance.
“In AR, you can use sound, 3D and movement. The idea was to combine digital and material and using this, I have tried to show people my perception of the world. I have used some sceneries too in my work”, says Beatrice.
The artist has included different entities or concepts in her works (the rock, the Buddha, the dragonfly, dance, rest, etc.). She took about two years to complete the series.
Augmented reality
Visitors can watch the paintings come alive by downloading in.space app and scanning each painting to discover spatial, narrative and sound dimensions.
