Exhibited at festivals (N\u00e9mo, Mutek, Elektra, etc.), galleries and institutions (Palais de Tokyo, Le 104, New Museum), his works earned him the title of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres in 2016.

What can we see? What can we hear? How can we interact with it?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>Yuri&#8217;s Metamorphosis<\/i> is an immersive video installation created by Hugo Arcier.<\/p>\n<p>The work was started in 2020 and completed in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The installation takes the form of three separate screens. There is a dynamic interplay of editing and rhythm between these three screens, which can sometimes show three different shots simultaneously, or conversely, be composed of a panorama across two or three screens. The viewer navigates between a wide view of the three screens and a closer, more fragmented view on a single screen.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What is it about?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This science fiction story is centered around a hybrid being, half-human, half-plant, who questions climate change and projects us into a possible future for humanity. The project takes a critical look at techno-solutionism and geoengineering.<\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Is this the first time this installation has been shown to the public? Can you tell us a little about the process of creating the work to achieve this result?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is! The images were created using Unreal Engine, a 3D engine originally developed for video games. Artificial intelligence is used occasionally in the film. It is powered by images generated via Unreal Engine to extend certain shots (lungs, CO2 capture plant\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Yuri is a virtual character played by actor Vincent Berger, who lends his voice and movements via performance capture.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Which artists (in all fields) or, more generally, which art forms influence your creative process, and what references, if any, are you alluding to in this installation?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The film draws on the visual codes used in video games: sudden appearances of objects rather than cross-fades, transparency of 3D surfaces (invisible from one side), visual bugs, etc. It is a new language in the making.<\/p>\n<p>The installation, with its long tracking shots, also has a cinematic dimension, inspired by formalist filmmakers such as Stanley Kubrick, Andrei Tarkovsky, and B\u00e9la Tarr.<\/p><p><br><\/p><ul><li><b>What difficulties, limitations, and challenges were encountered during its development?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This was a long-term project. The fact that there are three screens means that many more CGI shots had to be created. Another challenge, of course, was creating a virtual character that could convey emotions. This character also had to be visible in a close-up. His eyes are particularly important in transmitting the actor&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Can you give us one or more websites where we can see your work?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hugoarcier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hugoarcier\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/hugoarcier.com\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/hugoarcier.com\/fr\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>A few keywords that would fit well with your installation?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Hybridisation, techno-solution, hypnosis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>A few words about your artistic background?
