Join us September 5th from 5pm – 9pm for the vernissage of Tati au Miel’s debut solo exhibition Rêverie. Developed during their OPEN/WORLD residency here at World Creation Studio, Rêverie is an installation exploring a dream-like world interconnecting sculpture, textile, XR, and sound.

Following the exhibition opening an artist talk will take place Saturday, September 7th from 3pm – 4pm.

In parallel, Rêverie will be performed as a live audio-visual performance for MUTEK Montreal on August 23rd and will be showcased at the Avant Art Festival in Warsaw Poland from September 17th to 28th.

Driven by a curiosity to expand their practice through exploring new mediums, Tati au Miel’s installation Rêverie weaves together the sonic, physical, and digital realms through a series of interconnected sculpture, sound, and virtual pieces. Rêverie—a state of being lost in one’s thoughts or daydreams—serves as a guiding concept, inviting reflections on the duality of physical and virtual, organic and artificial, and the enigmatic dimensions of life. Themes of boundlessness, spirituality, black queer identities, and migration guide their distinct approach to storytelling and conjure an interplay of dream-like objects and experiences.

A chime-like sound sculpture assembled from both fabricated and found objects forms a point of tactile connection where audience interaction uncovers and manipulates sounds within the environment and invites an intimate engagement that shapes the evolving soundscape. Suspended textiles and ceramic sculptures act as anchors in the space, providing a tangible counterpoint to the audio-visual VR experience. The installation further intertwines dimensions through the digitization of ceramic sculptures, including the marassa twin sculptures, one of which will be exhibited separately in Poland, further emphasizing the entangled nature of these dualities.

Exploration of sound is central to Tati au Miel’s artistic process and plays a pivotal role in crafting the universe of Rêverie. Shaping the ambience and narrative flow of the experience, and drawing from diverse musical influences, the sonic landscape captures a spirit of stillness, contemplation, and vastness, offering a moment of serene escape.

MUTEK – 23.08.24

Tati au Miel premiered Rêverie as a live audio-visual performance incorporating the sound sculpture and immersive visuals created during their OPEN/WORLD residency. Through processed soundscapes, voice and live instrumentation, the performance encapsulated the contemplative spirit of their work  exploring vast contrasting states of noise and stillness.

Tati au Miel —
