Created for the Bright Brussels Festival of Light, Behind the Scenes was an immersive installation conceived by Catherine Cosme and 254Forest. The project invited visitors to step inside a cinematic mechanism rather than simply observe it.
Deux écrans formaient un long couloir que le public pouvait traverser. À l’intérieur, les visiteurs devenaient à la fois spectateurs et acteurs, between light and shadow.
De chaque côté de l’installation, two real film crews operated moving lights on cinema travelling tracks, reproducing the gestures of a film set in real time.
The installation existed both inside and outside the corridor.
Dans le passage central, la composition musicale (Hugo Lippens et Jean-Stéphane Garbe) évoquait le 7ème art tout en créant une dramaturgie lunaire en phase avec le spectacle visuel. De part et d’autre des écrans, des haut-parleurs montés sur les rails de travelling diffusaient certaines pistes de la pièce musicale.
As the speakers moved along the tracks, sound travelled through space, creating shifting perspectives and subtle Doppler effects.
Le public se retrouvait ainsi au cœur d’un dispositif cinématographique vivant :
un spectacle à l’intérieur du couloir, mais aussi autour de lui.
A lot of that fresh, synthetic loop sound comes from Propellerhead’s iOS app Figure. That small app was a real travel companion at the time, with just three tracks —beat, bass, and lead — yet more than enough. It perfectly matched the striking photograph by Penny Tu featuring Lin Yun for Vogue China.
