September 28, 2013: Untitled Mind as part of Nuit Blanche - Art All Night DC

by Laia Cabrera in collaboration with Catherine Correa and Isabelle Duverger


“Untitled Mind” is a multilayered mapped projection design conceived as a short film video dance piece that explores the otherness in the self, focusing in the idea of the mirrored one, the creative ability, the dream, the unconscious mind.

Directed and filmed by Laia Cabrera, the piece is based on an original idea by Catherine Correa in collaboration with awarded choreographer Alexandre Proia. The piece features two actors/dancers Catherine Correa and Jonathan Royse Windham with production design and visual effects by Isabelle Duverger, music by Javier Moreno Sanchez, sound design by Gisella-Fulla Silvestre and Arooj Aftab, assistant production by Florencia Minniti.

The piece is a multimedia video and sound installation inspired by Emma Jung’s notion of the “Amandus”: “The Amandus lures the girl into his house, gives her wine to drink and afterwards takes her into the underground (psyche) to kill her. As he prepares himself for this, a sort of intoxication overcomes the girl. In a sudden impulse of love, she embraces the murderer, who is immediately robbed of his power and dissolves after promising to stand by her side in the future as a helpful spirit.” Both rest in harmony in the bed of the unconscious mind.
