The
Atsara
duo often deals with the exploration of relations
between light, space and time, where a special
emphasis is put on the exposition of poetic
moments that come to life at their constant
transformation, as well as on the excitation of
the spectator's imagination. Their kinetic light
installation is based on a state of continued
transitions of tiny light particles that arise
from the dark like fireflies and fly over the
space before disappearing again. This meditative
work, supported by a special soundtrack, thus uses
reflections of light to enact mysterious organic
life caught in constant motion. The project offers
the spectator entry into a weightless world while
toying with his or her perception and
comprehension of space.
ATSARA is
the artistic name of a tandem consisting of two
French artists: Roland Devocelle (1969, Valence)
and Audrey Rocher (1977, Agen). These two
self-taught artists work together since 2000,
dealing mostly with multimedia installations and
audiovisual art and often employing the media of
photography and video. Since 2008, they've focused
intensively on video images combined with the
integrated use of movable objects and sound
interventions. They've exhibited their works in
many different venues and festivals around the
world.
