Orchidaceous Extra


Commisionned by Maxime Rossi, Orchidaceous Extra is a Vr Simulation that I directed for his solo show at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo
Unity programming by Ferdinand Dervieux

About the show.from the artist
A UV squash club hosts an expended VR Simulation, and soaks up its soundtrack with an ambient interactive sound installation, in a delayed continuum.
Orchidaceous Extras is inspired by a paper about Nabokov, Trotsky and wild Orchids.

Conceived as a walk-trough VR simulation, the animated notebook follows my quest since 2020 (with help from botanists and biologists) for a Phantom Orchid:
a roadside endangered flower that could give life to Nabokov's imaginary Orchid.
