During her MA Fine Arts degree show, Eugenia Emets has presented an installation crossing over 3D animation, holographic projection and multi-channel diffusion sound.
This project saw the beginning of a collaboration between Eugenia Emets (photographer, visual artist), Perseus Mandillo (3D artist) and Barbara Lambert (sound artist).
"Darkness is the necessary condition of the holographic effect that can be achieved in this project: the viewer cannot see the screen and the boundaries of the space are vague (due to the fact that the walls, the floor and the ceiling are black). The “object” is literally hanging in space like a hologram across the black background of the space."
Extract from Vesica Piscis script, written by Eugenia Emets.

The sound produced for the video is based on a triangle of composition. The first element is the sound of a tuba that was processed through granulation synthesis; then the recordings of the exhibition space with contact microphones disposed on the noisiest wall of the room and the recordings of Eugenia's breathing.
The idea was to give life to a shape evolving in the dark through the relationship between a specific space -the sound I could get out of it-, a musical instrument -used as a harmonic ground- and human presence -expressed through breathing-.
