au delà
performance, création 2016
For many years, Cyril Hernandez has played and worked with water. Whenever he dips his hands into the water and strokes it in a kind of primitive yet daily gesture, he makes the element sing. With the help of the recording and live electronic system, water becomes a real instrument.
With this sound and visual installation, Cyril Hernandez puts the viewer face to face with the element. This time it’s the spectator’s movements that transform the sound and image.
At the center of the device, a half sphere, a tank filled with water, seems to be listening to our dreams and fantasies. Now the visitor becomes like a new narcissus, so the game can start.
