"Dream-e-scape" is an interactive projection art installation about lucid dreams, created by filmmaker Laia Cabrera and multimedia artist Isabelle Duverger. It is a motion tracking 360º responsive installation, the audience arrives into a room with seven doors which represent the deep sleep state, they are allowed to peak in for a short while until they are sent to a dream sequence, from micro to macro landscapes, a strange waterfall in which sound and tunnels are being revealed by your presence, a Daliesque surreal world in which you are bending time and space, the sudden realization you might still be dreaming through more experiences.

QUALIA - YOU MATTER TO ME Immersive Art Installation
Jersey City Theater Center, 2023
Conceived and created by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger
Original music by Nana Simopoulos and Erica Glyn
Performing artist: Catherine Correa
“Qualia” is a sensory voyage where the line is blurred between the physical and the digital world, between the real and the imaginary. The gaze is a visual poem, gravitational Qualia: anxiety shaped into Surrealism, a nightmare turned fantasy, spontaneous solidarity, feelings of solitude, suspension, an embrace, the beginning of a smile, a hand holding sand, falling and rising again.

Conceived and created by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger
Original music by Nana Simopoulos and Enrique Granados
Cinematography and Editing by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger
Close-Up/Primer Pla: An Immersive Cinematic Art Installation is a poem to Catalan landscape and architecture, a visual tone poem that uncovers new parallels between identifiable motifs of the land and the built environment, between nature and art. The tale it weaves navigates between gentle familiar territory and sudden, revelatory estrangement, spanning both distant memory and nostalgia for what is yet to come.

An Immersive Interactive Cinematic Art Installation by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger
Interactivity by Aniol Saurina Masó - Music and Sound design by Nana Simopoulos with Mary Ann McSweeney
“Illusion” is an immersive interactive experience about the art of seeing and experiencing, created by awarded filmmakers and visual artists Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger in collaboration with interactivity designer Aniol Saurina Masó, that offers the chance to step into an illusion of infinite space. The piece departs from the notion of “visual illusions”, a powerful means by which to challenge our mind and the inner and subjective approach to time and space. Through projection mapping, mirrors, augmented reality, interactivity, video art, music and animation, we invite our audience to experience a sensorial journey onto magical realms and thought-provoking realities. “Illusion” is a mirage, a playful art installation that blurs the line between true and false, merging the physical and digital worlds.
"Illusion" is a Motion Award 2021 nominee in the category "Interactive/Experiential - Installation"

SLIMEY MIRROR Immersive Interactive Installation
Sloomoo Institute - New York, Chicago - Atlanta - Houston, 2022-Present
Conceived and created by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger
Interactive Design by Aniol Saurina Masó and Jianhoa Ma
Slimey Mirror is an immersive interactive installation which reflect on the self, our identity, and how do we relate to our inner child, when exposed to a different environment where one can see an image of themselves but not quite themselves.
When entering, the interactivity allows for people to see their self as an avatar of slime, responding to one's movement in a mirrored manner, and at the same time responding to the laws of motion of slime. The environment is a cave also made of slime, and it can interact with people by spilling slime of different textures. When prompted by a ball of slime, people can also throw slime at the mirror and at one another.
The experience of reflecting oneself onto a mirror is always a learning experience, here we want people to free themselves from their self-reflection and discover the possibilities of being in a slime body.
The installation works with a full body tracking sensor, and therefor allows to move freely in the space without having to wear any technology. We are looking to create an experience in which people can instinctively interact, with technology invisible.
