Keyframes
About
A nocturne plastic art installation designed for public space. Luminous characters invade the chosen site. Designed according to the principle of decomposition of movement (chronophotography) and kinetics. The characters are arranged in precise positions to recreate stories during programmed lighting sequences.
KEYFRAMES creates a bridge between sculpture and cinema, a scripted plastic art, a show transforming the space in which it takes place. Through micro-narratives, KEYRAMES offers narration within the city. Urban stories where bodies and their movements play the lead roles. The installation can be performed on the ground, on a roof, on facades or bridges. In this way, the spectator is animated to rediscover their city and its architecture.

““Groupe LAPS brought the magic of movement to London with their delightful, dancing stick men. This nocturnal artwork charmed audiences with its story, taking over Liberty House on Regent Street. Part animation and part moving sculpture, the LED figures gave energy and excitement to the building with their routine inspired by iconic video games. Part of the KEYFRAMES series, this installation brought glimmers of the past to life and offered an opportunity to reminisce.”

““Let us tell you that Groupe Laps, this talented French collective, with its installation “Keyframes” installed on the façade of the “police station” was adored by the public. Simulating the escape of a character through the roof, running on the façade. A luminous on/off punctuated with funny and offbeat sound effects.””
