About the artist…
Julien-Robert is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores the relationships between sound and image. He creates audio-visual performances and installations enriched by his experiences throughout his musical journey. He began his studies in instrumental and electroacoustic composition before expanding his artistic expertise to include video creation and interactive devices. During the creation process, he pays particular attention to the staging of his works in order to devise the most complete and authentic experiences possible for the audience. He has composed the music for several dance, short film, and theatre performances presented in various festivals around the world. Currently, he is working in collaboration with Julien Compagne to combine music, video and technology, transforming the three elements into a new artistic form that is the foundation of their group Video Phase.
About the work…
Fit in the Crowd is an interactive triptych video installation illustrating some aspects of urban life. With images projected in the manner of a blinding strobe, the work evokes the oversaturation of messages to which we are exposed every day and suggests moments of comfort, of refuge, where life stops for a moment. It thus questions the space we inhabit, in an urban environment, in relation to the comfort it gives us by its anonymity.
