Claudia Pagés Rabal's exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery invites visitors to lie down and gaze at a large screen of interactive tablets suspended overhead. This experience echoes childhood memories of looking up and introduces viewers to innovative storytelling via 360-degree technology. The centerpiece, 'The Night of Five Defence Towers', features a dark stage where actors perform themes of surveillance and refuge across a five-act structure. By weaving in music and dance, Rabal evokes feelings of protection and peril, while highlighting the complexity of proximity in a modern world influenced by colonial legacies.
Innovation in art and technology creates immersive experiences, transforming storytelling and challenging perceptions of safety and distance in the contemporary world.
Using 360-degree camera technology, 'The Night of Five Defence Towers' allows audiences to grapple with themes of surveillance and refuge in a tense narrative.
