GHOST CITY
Ghost City (Trailer) 2016
a video installation by Hugo Arcier
with an original music by Bernard Szajner
Draws on De rerum natura of Lucrece, the installation Ghost City is built around a reinterpretation of the set of the famous game GTA V.
The spectator is plunged into an environment without any population that disappears as we move closer. It is a meditative and captivating experience. The focus is put on architectural and graphic elements.
This virtual universe solicits both the present (the experience of the artwork) and the memory.
The disappearance, before our eyes, of this virtual universe feeds the terror that one day all our digital life – ephemeral cloud -.

FOLDED NATURE
The hallucination is in fact a set of memories, where the colors of a real nature mingle with the folds of a pop-up book nature.
UNFOLDED NATURE
…The result of this is a distraught vision of a destructured nature, an artefact formed with multiple shreds, that Arman would have designate as « archaeology of the future ». A puzzle for future generations, for the day nature will have disappeared.
SURFACE MOUVEMENT – SURFACE LUMIERE
The digital material in this film is a repository and only exists thanks to the creations of Len Lye; but also, as in a painting by Soulages, it forms, transforms and emits in its turn.
L’AFFAIBLISSEMENT PROGRESSIF DES RESSOURCES
Thanks to the movement we distinguish a hollow character caught in a stylised snow storm. He walk and slowly exhausts himself…

This installation is the litteral representation of the link (fight?) between the real and the virtual.
FICTION 1
This full 3D computer graphics film draws from the events that struck Japan in March 2011, and more specifically, the way the events were covered in the media.
FICTION 2 or a gentle evocation of radioactive particles.
This series follows “Fiction 1” a work inspired by the events that took place in Japan, March 2011. We are in this series after the tsunami.
ARTEFACT
The aim of the Artefact series is to highlight those ‘material accidents’ in 3D computer graphics, and by doing so, to showcase the way in which the artist takes a ‘trial and error’ approach.
