International immersive Works Competition

Locus Solus

World Premiere

Christian Lemmerz / Denmark, Germany / 2020 / 9 min / Experimental, Animation
English / No subtitles

Previously invited at GIFF with the fascinating La Apparizione, German and Danish artist Christian Lemmerz returns with a unique and bleak immersive work, which directly echoes Roussel’s Locus Solus so admired by the Surrealists. A dance of skulls in immersion.

Locus Solus is the third and final part of a virtual reality trilogy by German-Danish artist Christian Lemmerz, in which he explores various states of consciousness – religious vision, nightmare, hypnosis. Immersed in a dark and infinite space, viewers are surrounded by skulls that appear gradually, multiplying in a circular movement. A mesmerizing and unique work that plunges us into the world of death.
