VINCENT EPPLAY
Vincent Epplay is a sound and image artist. For the past twenty years, he has fluctuated in an interzone around the notion of the remanence of the spectres that haunt the collective unconscious. He plays regularly in France and Europe as a soloist or in a trio with the group Bader Motor and the trio Jac Berrocal – David Fenech – Vincent Epplay.
His music has been released by various labels: Akuphone, Blackest ever black, Klang Galerie, AKA, Planam Alga Marghen. He continues to archive records without music, 8-minute method and teaching films, and recordings or documents without proven authorship.

Zenith evokes a solar metaphor for this installation composed of a hypnotizing and dazzling ensemble of light particles. 2000K for 2000°Kelvin, the temperature of the warm color of these diffused lights, identical to those of a sunset.
Imagined as a corridor between two states of consciousness, it’s a massive light portal propelling sub-bass frequencies. A body augmented by sensors for a vibratory choreography. A meditative dive into the photon world…
