Isabella Tessier presents her solo exhibition reimagining the relationship between human bodies and motion at the Stanley Picker Gallery’s Project Studio
About
Isabella Tessier responds to artist and film maker, Paul Kaiser’s question: “What is human movement in the absence of the body?”
Seeing The Unseen presents an immersive, extended reality artwork that reimagines the relationship between digital trace and physical movement. Seen through the lens of a VR headset, motion becomes material and traces left by the gestures of an artist and dancer are made visible.
As viewers navigate the space, their own gestures generate new traces, layering and transforming the artwork into a shared, temporal map of motion, a living drawing. The exhibition invites the audience to experience an embodied ecology where observer and artwork are connected through presence, absence, and the choreography of interaction.
This project has been made in collaboration with Kingston University’s iLab. Senior Immersive Digital Technician at Kingston University, Matthew Boardman, and Dancer, Eloise Frey.
Private View and performance: Thursday 29th May 5-7 pm.
