In collaboration with LUMA Arles, we are presenting of immersive and interactive artworks surrounding Vincent Van Gogh’s practices and artistic connection to nature under the title Living Landscape. The pieces are part of an ambitious group show in partnership with the Foundation Vincent van Gogh Arles, called ‘Van Gogh and the Stars’
Coded Nature, as well as a new commissioned artwork called Murmuring Minds, is centred around the concept of making the invisible force of nature come to the surface, illuminating the role of the elements in the movement of the natural world. This parallel between Van Gogh’s inspirational work and how it highlights the connection we have to nature, is translated in a DIRFT way. Van Gogh’s body of work, his imagination and his artistry, lay at the heart of inventiveness for many, including us, and it can be seen in various formats and ways, staying relevant despite those differences.
For the opening of Living Landscape, DRIFT flew a commissioned drone performance called Electric Sky, which saw an interpretation of Van Gogh’s artworks above to iconic LUMA tower illuminating the night sky.
The exhibition is on view from June 1st to September 1st
