The Unfrozen Toy Box

OVERVIEW

Created for LUMINO at Montréal’s Esplanade Tranquille, The Unfrozen Toy Box reimagines the outdoor skating rink as a large-scale interactive experience where movement, light, and play converge. The installation invites skaters to move through a series of visual worlds evolving in real time beneath their blades, turning the ice into a playful, living playground.

Through a play of silhouettes, blur, and color fields, the visuals for Hold Me Down explore the body as both form and landscape. Light becomes the driving force, revealing movement, duplicating shapes, and turning human presence into shifting echoes.

Echoes of the Body

Painted Chaos

For "Killing Boys", the visuals were built from filmed paint splashes and fluid colors, composited to create a growing accumulation that gradually plunges into darkness. The sequence reaches its peak as the staircase screen rises into the air, turning this moment into an epic and dramatic transition on stage.
