On 19 November Fabrica hosts a workshop and masterclass by Armand Lesecq, an artist working in the fields of sound, digital art, experimental music and cinema.
His work focuses on the relationship between perception, attention and imagination. Through sound and/or visual compositions, he guides the viewer through inner, reflexive and introspective meanders. In his performances, he likes to offer experiences that encourage sensory and perceptive exploration. The aim is to involve the audience in a posture of acute attention to rare perceptual phenomena, neglected or denied in everyday life, and to disorientate the mind from the paths marked out by habits and lifestyles.
Since 2020, he is developing a research on closed eye cinema – materialised with the project Phosphene: a film for closed eyes and spatial sound using a projection on the audience’s eyelids, a multichannel sound setup and motorised directional loudspeakers.
Inspired by dreams, neurosciences and hypnosis, the project aims to explore varieties of inner spaces. It is an attempt to reach those territories we might tend to forget or deny, between the surface of the senses and our interpretation of reality, in the depths of imagination, illusions and doubts.
Armand Lesecq’s workshop is part of Fabrica’s “Ruralism” residency program curated by Carlos Casas.
