As part of the international projection mapping festival - MAPP_MTL 2024, from September 24 to October 13 discover the MICRO_MAPP exhibition at Le Livart with artists Étienne Varin, Dalkhafine and Thaïla Khampo. The theme of the exhibition will be Perspectives, an invitation to question, to explore the labyrinths of consciousness and to embrace the infinite wealth of interpretations.

Étienne Varin presents his tape mapping work “Minuit sans toi ” Conductor of light, sound and image, who draws his inspiration from the beauty of butterfly wings, the iridescence of oil puddles and the refraction of water drops. Always on the lookout for out-of-the-ordinary mediums in which to exhibit not just what pleases the eye, but above all what pleases the heart. What's important is to catalyze emotions in the viewer, to resonate with their colorful intentions, and to touch the eyes of those who take the time to observe. https://etiennevarin.com/

While we wait for the sixtieth second, we embody the role of an interrogator with sewn lips, a witness with half-closed eyes, a latecomer growing impatient, an explorer without a compass. Reconciling with the feeling of loss means embracing unanswered questions. It means remembering our smiles before they faded away. It means taking refuge in the idea that endings do not exist. There are only new beginnings. Despite the distance, our story will continue.

Dalkhafine French-Canadian based between Paris and Montreal, Dalkhafine distinguishes herself as a multidisciplinary artist. After experience in live shows and animated films, she developed a singular artistic universe, characterized by collaborations with brands (Adobe, Adidas, Redbull) and musical artists (Jain, Pharrell). Inspired by the 90s and guided by her desire to convey a positive message, her work is marked by the use of bright colors and black outlines. Whatever the field she explores, her love of art and drawing remains the common thread. Whether through art direction, illustration, motion design or painting, she approaches each medium as an infinite playground for her creativity.

His work Perspectives is about the horizon, what we see in the distance. They are windows that open onto new frontiers, known or unknown. It's our way of seeing, understanding and enjoying the world. Welcome to a 2-minute contemplative visual tale, created by artist Dalkhafine, combining motion design and poetry.

Thaïla Khampo Thaïla Khampo is a Montreal-based illustrator. He loves patterns, mystery, beautiful stories, naive art, caustic humor, simplicity and images that tell stories.

His work l'Heure Bleue is a look at the time, light and space that surround us. It's also an invitation to contemplate fleeting moments.
