A world of heightened sensations, where captivating creatures projected onto responsive video membranes live in darkened spaces awaiting the presence of the visitors. The power of Longpre’s art comes from her ability to blur the boundaries between the virtual and the real, as well as the visceral reactions she provokes. Through 260 pages with selected full-colour images and insightful texts by leading international writers Kate Mondloch, Florence de Meredieu, David Howes, Alison Syme, Isa Tousignant, Christine Redfern and from Philomene Longpre herself, this book gives a unique opportunity to explore Longpre’s genius and her astounding contribution to contemporary art." -- Publisher's website.
