Within Reach

Created by Spanish filmmaker Laia Cabrera and French visual artist Isabelle Duverger, “Within Reach” is an interactive art installation about transformation, reconnecting with the origin, nature and our relationship to it.

Conceived as a seamless projection mapping design with full gesture responsive interactivity, Within Reach invites the audience to actively enter the heart of the piece, creating a story that unfolds across a series of immersive interactive scenarios. The installation is a sensory experience where the line is blurred between the physical and the digital world, between the real and the imaginary. Itexplores the soul of nature, its quietness and its power. The human presence is only visible at the beginning and the end as a minuscule glimpse of looking at the skies, where coffee grains and bubbles are raindrops on our dreams.

The audience can affect change, create an avatar of themselves and discover ways to interact with the installation, embody the different storylines and share the experience with each other.
