ORIGINES
“Origines” is an immersive hypnotic experience created by Geoffrey Secco and Elsa Secco.
The installation consists of two tulle screens, stretched in front of and behind the stage, onto which 2D animations are projected, with the musicians in the center.
The audience perceives the images as if in a hypnotic state: they do not simply watch them, but absorb them directly.
Sandwiched between the two screens, the musicians appear within the animation itself rather than in front of it, with no fixed distance.
This stems from an idea I’ve been working on for years: seeing something with sufficient clarity changes what we do next.
We visualize a state that does not yet exist, and this visualization begins to influence the present.
In “Origines,” the work does not illustrate anything; it activates something the audience already carries within themselves.

Amour Océanique
In this piece, Elsa Secco captures the moment when love becomes visible, not as feeling, but as vibrational frequency. A silhouette dilates at the heart of a chromatic storm, a living antenna receiving cosmic currents. The emerging face, mouth open, cries recognition. Then two energies merge: magenta and blue dance together, mirrors of one another.
The flickering symbols, are the sigils of possibility. Elsa doesn't illustrate love. She activates it. She opens a portal where you discover this energy has always moved through you, waiting only for your permission to manifest.
Oceanic love asks to be felt, not understood.
Whelk Song
Whelk Song has been composed by Geoffrey Secco during a trip in Australia. All the music video style has been inspired by Aboriginal drawings and colours, and Geoffrey Secco shamanic experiences. The illustrations narrate an initiatory trip through dreamings.
Our researches were based on several books: Spirit In Land - Bark Paintings From Arnhem Land by Judith Ryan The Painters Of The Wagilag Sisters Story 1937-1997 by National Gallery Of Australia Australian Aboriginal Paintings by E.J.Brandl Paint-Up by Amanda Ahern
Directed by Elsa Secco & Jonathan Guyader.
Le Baiser
Before the kiss exists, the fantasy precedes it—blooming in darkness like petalled shadows seeking light. Hands reach, feathers ignite in neon gold and magenta, a geometry of longing suspended in the void. Two mouths trace invisible lines toward each other, drawn by a force older than words.
Elsa Secco makes the unseen seen. She renders the breath before contact, the magnetism between bodies that haven't yet touched. Feathers become lightning; desire becomes visible as luminous plumage. The kiss itself is almost unnecessary—the fantasy is the kiss.
In the space between intention and touch, everything that could happen, does.
Relique du futur
This single work articulates two temporalities. The videos embedded within the structure belong to the future: they are visualisations, the image of a state that does not yet exist. The installation, its weight, its tensions, its materials, belongs to the present.
The relationship between the two is not illustrative but causal. It is the visualisation of the future that allowed the installation to come into being. I reverse the usual order of creation: the present does not produce the future; the projection of the future is what makes the present possible.

The Unseen, seen
We think of the present as something produced by the past. This work proposes that it is produced by two things at once: what has already happened, and what we project ourselves toward.
The image we hold of a future state acts on the present as forcefully as memory does, it is the second beam. The present is not a consequence; it is a superimposition.
One of the two we can walk back into; the other we can only face.
The installation makes that superimposition literal. Two projectors stand at either end of a room hung with transparent tulle panels. The one on the right projects the past; the one on the left projects the future.
Each beam is caught, layer after layer, by the panels on its own side. In the centre, where both beams fall on the same panels, the two animations overlap and a third image appears that exists in neither file: the present, composing itself out of an interference.
