Onion Skin, an installation by Olivier Ratsi [Antivj / Fr] Concept & visual content: Olivier Ratsi Music: Thomas Vaquié Onion Skin is a new immersive installation by Olivier Ratsi, an artist on the ANTIVJ visual label. The first stage in the Echolyse project, which will give birth to several variations around the same concept, Onion Skin is made up of a physical dimension – a module of two walls, positioned at right angles – augmented by a projection and a 5.1 sound broadcast. Onion Skin is a graphical work about the re-composition of time and space through a game of perspectives, both of the exhibition space itself and that of the projection canvas. Built around a progressive structure, made up of 4 parts lasting 14 minutes in total, the piece plays on the principle of repetition and scale to create a physical and hypnotic experience that opens doors onto the hidden and untouchable. The whole experience of the installation is based on a very specific point of view. A precise position from which a new dimension is revealed to the audience by anamorphosis. The simple geometric elements (“peelings”) that seemed to be flat at first suddenly start delimiting a new space. The illusion of a new dimension within the installation slowly appears as the onion skins seem to be leaving their physical surface behind. A 5.1 surround sound set-up accentuates the physical dimension of the installation, strengthening and playing with the impression of volume and space. antivj.com/onionskin Management & production: Nicolas Boritch

A Room of Stuff Arranged to Create this Anamorphic Portrait

Ryan Nance October 7, 2017

Anamorposis is an illusion where a specific vantage point is needed for the image to come together.  French artist Bernard Pras has made an art of assemblage. This, his latest piece,  is a portrait of Malian actor Sotigui Kouyaté.

You can see it is composed of clothes, paint, wood, rubber, and other objects scraped together.

It's only when seen through his camera that the portrait comes together.

We've seen the stunning anamorphic work of French painter, photographer and sculptor Bernard Pras before (A Room of Stuff Arranged to Create this Anamorphic Portrait). Here he has recreated a portrait of French postman Ferdinand Cheval from a carefully arranged pile of furniture.

Ferdinand Cheval, the man in the portrait, is most famous for spending 33 years of his life building Le Palais Idéal
