Pera Museum presents a multimedia performance titled ATOTAL as part of the exhibition In Search of Vera Molnár. The artist Antoine Schmitt, who is featured in the exhibition with the work titled “100 Square Ensemble” is collaborating with composer and musician Franck Vigroux for this performance.
Exploring the concept of hyper-synchronisation between sound and visuals, the elements are gradually deconstructed during the performance, which creates a dynamic interplay that challenges perceptions of reality. The performance engages the audience in a profound sensory experience.
About ATOTAL
The total work of art, when pushed to its paroxysm of absolute coincidence of the perceptions of a captive spectator, is similar to the techniques of mental manipulation of totalitarian regimes, proceeding by annihilation of the critical mind, repetitive semantic pounding, subliminal messages. ATOTAL is an audiovisual show aiming to reconstruct in order to better deconstruct the processes of imposition of will by repetition and absolute synchronism, to propose a breach to a potentially life-saving decoincidence.

“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
