In vitro is a magnifying glass that reveals the choreography of bodies invisible to the eye. Cells, fibers and bacteria, unveiled by science, become colored spots, like stained glass windows in motion. As a result of a selection within a scenography class, our team was asked to design an installation for La Nuit Blanche 2018.

This exhibition is an experimentation to inspire a sense of awe and wonder and captivate the viewer in a moment of time. Moving pieces of the bacteria videography dance on the textile in unexpected motion. Within the context of l’église Saint-Eustache, the project questions the visualization and communication of science.
