Mirages & miracles is a series of installations.
This corpus of work is an attempt to create a sort of digital animism using augmented reality, virtual reality, holographic illusions and video-projections.
” Stones are simple, heavy and motionless.
Stones are the archetype of what is real and concrete.
But listen to their silence, and you can hear them speak.
If you take a close look, they grow transparent and their inertia pulses. They speak of the forces that consumed them, of the distances they have travelled, of the genies they shelter, of the hairs they grow. ”
This exhibition is an homage to the life nestled in things seemingly lifeless, motionless, inorganic. Here the figure of the stone, real or drawn, is the hallmark.
Visitors are invited to experience a set of unprecedented scenarios which blurs the boundary between animate and inanimate, real illusion and fake miracle. They constitute a series of short performances for one spectator aiming to explore the contours of what constitutes life, through the mischief of poetry, the strength of computing and the magic of fiction.

NB: This corpus of work can be combined with other installations of the company Adrien M & Claire B to create a solo thematic exhibition.
