This artistic projection expresses a deep concern about the possibility that the future may erase the place of our natural environment, which is the foundation of our identity.
It presents itself as an intangible and desperate refuge in the face of natural phenomena with mystical contours, which become our perceptual escape. Our relentless pursuit of technological progress distances us from the fundamental elements that have shaped our humanity. Interaction with nature is increasingly reduced through screens and virtual interactions leading to an increasingly materiality at the core of our existence, giving way to the digital, to the immaterial, in search of the divine.
Jésus Baptista
Jésus Baptista is currently part of the 2022-2024 cohort at the contemporary art studio Le Fresnoy. In June 2016, he obtained his national diploma in visual arts from the Haute École des arts du Rhin, specializing in Visual Didactics. This specialization emphasizes artistic mediation as a central aspect of its inquiry. Subsequently, he developed his practice in VJing and mapping, alongside video and light projection techniques, which have become the primary components of his artistic approach. Baptista’s immersive installations have been exhibited at prestigious events.
