"SLIMEY MIRROR" Immersive Interactive Installation, Sloomoo Institute
New York / Atlanta / Chicago / Houston / Los Angeles, 2022-Present
An Immersive Interactive Cinematic Installation by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger
in collaboration with Aniol Saurina Masó & Jianhao Ma (Interactive Design) and Lucas Ordoñez (3D) / Music by Pei Pei
Slimey Mirror is an immersive interactive installation which reflect on the self, our identity, and how do we relate to our inner child, when exposed to a different environment where one can see an image of themselves but not quite themselves. When entering, the interactivity allows for people to see their self as an avatar of slime, responding to one's movement in a mirrored manner, and at the same time responding to the laws of motion of slime. The environment is a cave also made of slime, and it can interact with people by spilling slime of different textures. When prompted by a ball of slime, people can also throw slime at the mirror and at one another. The experience of reflecting oneself onto a mirror is always a learning experience, here we want people to free themselves from their self-reflection and discover the possibilities of being in a slime body. The installation works with a full body tracking sensor, and therefor allows to move freely in the space without having to wear any technology. We are looking to create an experience in which people can instinctively interact, with technology invisible.

"ILLUSION" Immersive Interactive Art Installation, Flutter Experience, Los Angeles, 2019-2021
An Immersive Interactive Cinematic Art Installation
by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger
Interactivity by Aniol Saurina Masó
Music and Sound design by Nana Simopoulos with Mary Ann McSweeney
What is real? What is imaginary? Is the distinction just in our mind?
“Illusion” is an immersive interactive experience about the art of seeing and experiencing, created by awarded filmmakers and visual artists Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger in collaboration with interactivity designer Aniol Saurina Masó, that offers the chance to step into an illusion of infinite space.
The piece departs from the notion of “visual illusions”, a powerful means by which to challenge our mind and the inner and subjective approach to time and space. Through projection mapping, mirrors, augmented reality, interactivity, video art, music and animation, we invite our audience to experience a sensorial journey onto magical realms and thought-provoking realities. “Illusion” is a mirage, a playful art installation that blurs the line between true and false, merging the physical and digital worlds. "Illusion" is a Motion Award 2021 nominee in the category "Interactive/Experiential - Installation"

"Shifting Gaze" Video Projection Mapping, Georgetown Glow, DC, 2015
Shifting Gaze is a film-art-music installation about choice, desire and memory conceived and directed by Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video artist) and created in collaboration with Erica Glyn (music, composer and singer) and Isabelle Duverger (animation and mapping). Shifting Gaze is a film about identity, about making choices, a memory in act.
Drawing from the body, faces, urban patterns, nature and remains of activity, the piece explores a notion of choice, linked to desire and memory –choice being the present, memory representing the past and desire, the drive for a future. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception.
Shifting Gaze is comissioned by Georgetown Business Improvement District, and sponsored by Jamestown Properties and Georgetown Park with the support of Spain Arts and Culture.
Shifting Gaze was projected on the Georgetown Canal as a site-specific immersive video mapped installation.
C&O Canal wall, at 1064 Wisconsin Avenue, NW at the rear of Georgetown Park

Ronensbourgh is a very contemporary and highly experimental piece, written in a Heiner Müller's style. The play possesses relevant questions about identity, society and home; about the conception of those ideas, and the dislodging of the very things our society holds as important.

"Night" Theater Play - Video Projection Mapping, Theater for the New City, NYC, 2015
New York Innovative Theater Award Nominee for Outstanding Innovative Design 2015
for Outstanding Innovative Design (Projection Design, Video-Art and Animations)
Written by Charles L. Mee; Directed & Designed by Ildiko Nemeth in collaboration with:
Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger - Projection Design, Video Mapping and Installation / Video and Animations
Federico Restrepo - Lighting; Egle Paulauskaite - Costume; Galway McCullough - Fight Choreography
Cast: Beth Dodye Bass*, Dana Boll, Adam Boncz, Kaylin Lee Clinton, Sophia O.C. , Catherine Correa, Geraldine Dulex, Markus Hirnigel*, Brian Linden*, Galway McCullough*, Brandon Olson*, Jeanne Lauren Smith, and Chris Tanner
World premiere of Night (Thyestes 2.0), a movement theatre piece written by Charles L. Mee and directed and designed by Ildiko Nemeth with projection design and visuals by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger. Inspired by Seneca's Thyestes, the piece combines sections of the classic tale with an equally dark modern vision. A whirlwind of vivid scenes bridges the torture, murder and cannibalism dogging ill-fated Tantalus to modern plagues both frightening and banal, from war crimes to YouTube vapidity. This world premiere performance brings a bold mix of standout visuals and video installations, choreography, costuming, lighting and sound to Mee’s rhapsodic vision, resulting in a night of wonderfully disorienting theatre.
