Vincent Roumagnac

Vincent Roumagnac: J’ai rêvé la nuit verte aux neiges éblouies  / I have dreamt the green night and its dazzled snows

The installation by Vincent Roumagnac in MUU Helsinki Contemporary Art Centre combines scenographic gestures, printed and video-based surfaces, performance documentation, as well as works developed through research collaborations with the Theatre Museum (Helsinki).

The installation is bringing together works from the past ten years of his scenographic practice in relation to northern environments, alongside new pieces created for this solo exhibition. 

The installation extends the artist’s Backdrop series, initiated after his arrival in Helsinki in 2015, at the core of his doctoral artistic research at the time, Reacclimating the Stage.

Developed through the concepts of Redirecting and Simultaneous Environments, the work revisits the theatre backdrop as an active cultural and material interface. 

Rather than a simple decorative and peripheral support  – a painted landscape at the back of the stage  – the backdrop becomes, and performs as, a multidimensional environment in which geological, biospheric, technological, and cultural forces intersect and interact.
