Le Désert Mauve
Inspired by the eponymous novel by poet Nicole Brossard, Le désert mauve offers a gentle audiovisual synthesis. The duo, formed by sound artist Gabrielle HB and video artist Charline Dally, develops video works and performances that oscillate between fluid landscapes, infinite horizons and microscopic dances. Together, they develop slow and subtle progressions in order to soften the notion of time. Observe the space between thoughts, feel a movement in the making and capture the void. It is an inward looking place that opens up spacious possibilities.
The Purple Desert has presented their work at the MUTEK festivals (Montreal and Buenos Aires+Barcelona), the Noviembre Electrónico festival (Buenos Aires), Café Résonance, Casa del Popolo (Filles-troniques) and the Montreal Poetry Festival. In 2020, they completed a creative residency at the Society for Technological Arts, where they produced an immersive film. They are members of the digital arts center Perte de Signal, in Montreal, and are part of the AMPLIFY D.A.I. cohort.
