Film Noir - Catherine
Focus XR Suisse
Information
Film Noir – Catherine immerses the viewer in the world of a digital femme fatale inspired by Hollywood film noir. In a world of shadows, reflections and apparitions, Catherine plays with the gaze, the frame and her own image, like a film noir looping endlessly. Between live performance, cinematic imagery and the digital body, the project revisits the codes of the contemporary femme fatale.
