Deep are the Woods is a 40-minute performance of the French artist Eric Arnal-Burtschy. Arnal-Burtschy invites you to take place in an immersive setting in which he creates different spatial illusions using light and smoke. As a cathedral without walls, the installation challenges you to broaden your perspective on the world through the immaterial character of the light. Deep are the Woods is also a physical environment in which the material of light touches and caresses you. A magical experience.

For this work, Eric Arnal-Burtschy was inspired by the a.o. our relation to nature. Natural light phenomena such as the sun on the horizon or light shining through the leaves of a tree, were important starting points for the development of this work.


Eric Arnal-Burtschy
°1981, Paris

Eric Arnal-Burtschy followed a course in history, philosophy and geopolitics before moving to the performing and visual arts. His work is often based on research about the physics of the Universe and a questioning of the human. He created with Lyllie Rouvière Bouncing Universe in a Bulk, a diptych about infinity and emptiness, before to present Ciguë with Clara Furey, a solo on freedom and loneliness. His latest work, Deep are the Woods, is an evocation of the vacuum by the writing of the light. Eric Arnal-Burtschy is based in Paris and he is an associate artist at the Halles de Schaerbeek (Brussels) until 2018.
