ANTON CABALERO
XENAKIS' POLYTOPE II DE CLUNY (2008)

Director: Anton Cabalero
Year: 2008
Time: 24 mins
Music: Iannis Xenakis
Eye of Sound: Following the enormous success of Polytope I, Xenakis was invited to conceive a new audiovisual immersion in Paris for the Autumn Theater Festival in 1973-74. Xenakis constructed a spectacle of multiple mirrors, intersecting laser beams, strobing lights and, of course, a multi-channel sonic torrent under which the spectators would be immersed. Cabalero's work tries to reconstruct some aspects of the event but also of the creative process behind it. Editing photographs, notes and blueprints to the electroacoustic trembles of Polytope II, Cabalero allows us a glimpse of the event while being aware of its reconstructed character.
