Shifting Gaze, a Video-Art-Music Installation in Times Square, New York, October 6-7, 2010
Shifting GAZE is a film and an installation for 8-Screens Outdoor with live visuals and sound.

"Shifting Gaze is about CHOICE, DESIRE and MEMORY. The piece challenges self-expression and invents new forms of desire, breathing life into the medium and navigating on a new notion of choice, linked to desire and memory, choice being the present, memory representing the past and desire, the drive for a future. What we want (desire) is linked or conflicting with what is expected from us (identity, memory), and choice is the act upon which we build ourselves. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception: stories of the mind. A shifting gaze may allow us to interpret our interactions with others, from grasping cues to understanding other people’s behavior toward us. Shifting Gaze is ultimately a piece about identity, a film-installation about making choices, a memory in act." Laia Cabrera

Until there Monkey Town

Until There (video concert performance), 2009
Laia Cabrera with For Feather and Isabelle Duverger
“Until There” starts with images and movement as a visual storytelling, a sensual journey of the imaginary world of the filmmaker and visual artist, Laia Cabrera. Four screens with two video streams will surround you with a unique visual experience of timelessness and human landscape. She uses a variety of media: projected imagery merging cinematic arts, dance, photography, theater, visual arts, writing etc... As a part of the performance, Laia Cabrera will be working with visuals and drawing animation by Isabelle Duverger projected live in conjunction with indie pop/rock For Feather. The band has mastered the art of turning the mundane into the marvelous. Quirky melodies pull rather than push the listener, keeping things light with spacious harmonies evoking the early Beatles.
Performed at Monkey Town, Brooklyn, NY, June 8 and 18, 2009

is there an edge of belief

Is there an edge of belief (mixed media), 2009
Produced and directed by Laia Cabrera
Presented in the 2nd edition of the multidisciplinary festival "Jaen en Femenino", Jaen, Spain
and at the Bienale Internacional de Arte Contemporaneo, Merida, Venezuela,2010

Is there an edge of belief? is a film about the relation, uncommonness and beauty of innocence-belief. Where are the limits of our understanding of the emotions, how do we relate to the others and how do we handle the differences? Through the eyes of a little girl, its the world that we rediscover, the look at adulthood is biased and share its reality with elements of fairy-telling. As the images unravel, the density of the emotion grows, the gravity changes, and we are trapped into a world that the child in us understand, still. There is a woman breathing-singing-crying-fighting, multiple me/us trying to trace our own obsessions, flip books, visual poetry, fictional backgrounds, actors and aerial dancers elapsing their movements, impersonation and caricatures. Everything is allowed to be suggestive and accumulative, more significant than its physical appearance would indicate. So the shards of stories we have put together collide here, reflecting, and evolving like the act of memory itself. All objects and images are more than what first meets the eye, just as the visual imaginary evolves into a whole world of humanity.

Singularity Animac

Singularity (video-performance-installation) 2006
Produced and directed by Laia Cabrera.
Inagurated the International video and Animation Festival in Spain, Lleida 2006.
“Singularity” employs a 3 canvas video installation using the imagery and symbolism from many sources. The piece is about the transitory nature of life and our intent to grasp, capture the instant. In this work, a performer improvises silhouettes on the screens while the video artists play in real time with the visual imaginary. The work permits both the live and video levels to work together—to find a time/moment/space where they meet and merge to become one. The soundtrack has original music and a voice over of two women contrasting feeling and thoughts in order to understand their sense of strangeness with life.
