Transfigurations: Reanimating Ancient Art of India by David Lebrun
September 27, 2022 – May 27, 2023
In this immersive video installation, Lebrun aligns and sequences high-resolution photographs of 12th century sculpture from Southern India, then uses intricate morphing techniques to bring these images to life. The installation includes Vishnu and Attendants, a three-screen animation based on carved temple facades, and Shiva as Nataraja (Lord of Dance) a single-screen animation of cast bronze figures. It is part of Lebrun’s larger project, Transfigurations: Reanimating the Past. Score by Yuval Ron.
