In the beginning of October, I had the chance to visit an absolute stunning contemporary show in The Store X The Vinyl Factory.
UVA is an exhibition for the modern person caught by the technological world. The futuristic setting, accompanied by the numerous visual and sound effects, create an artificial universe, where time and matter are relative. For the full experience, you should just allow your senses to guide you through the installations, give your mind the freedom to wander and create its interpretations.
The exhibition features three large installations:
Our Time
As you enter the building and walk through a dark corridor, you will find yourself in what seems an infinite space with swinging lights. Walking under the kinetic structures, you feel like a part of a movie production showing the future of humankind.
The Vanishing Point
Inspired by the Renaissance painters Da Vinci and Durer, the laser installation simultaneously creates and destroys space in front of your eyes. Follow the perspective point, and you will end up in an infinite illusion.
The Great Animal Orchestra
The project is presented in collaboration with Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain Paris. The seminal bio-acoustician Bernie Krause uses the recordings of animals in their natural habitat, to create a transcendental experience that will take your mind into the depth of the ocean. The average duration of the movies is fifteen minutes, and the best way to experience them is by laying down on a bean bag, closing your eyes, and losing yourself into the dark woods with the wolfs.

I tried to upload some of the videos I made that day, but unfortunately the platform does not support files bigger than 10MB. So, enjoy one of the many pictures I took ( without complying with the GDPR regulations because I’m a rebel and I’m doing it for the art kinda talk) until I figure out an effective way to compress my 100MB videos.
