Figures is the latest installation produced by the collective, which reinvents itself using wood as a primary material. Figures is a succession of 48 wooden slabs laid in an unbalanced fashion. This tenuous controlled balance gives an impression of movement and even lightness to the overall design.
The light augments the installation and blurs the perception. A delicate and violent narration emerges, raised by the dialogue between light and music. The show is as intimate than it is exuberant.

15 years ago, behind Collectif Scale was a group of passionate friends who wanted to do something unique by mixing their expertise together.
Today, Scale has grown and is multigenerational, its work is exhibited all around the world but the collective is still attached to the DIY and homemade culture.
The members do not consider themselves individual artists, but they rather aim to produce new media art installations, by taking inspiration from sciences, the realm of contemporary art, as well as from mainstream and pop culture, all under the same, collective name.
Together, they question the links between music and visuals, light and architecture, entertainment and art, nature and future, man and machine.
Over the years and creations for stages or exhibitions, Scale has developed its own language to create sensory, narrative, playful works with a strong focus on innovation, which are accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
