Francois Ronsiaux, ALSET LINE

"Alset line" is an immersive video installation consisting of a stainless steel structure mounted on an articulated device. Inside, a 3D video is projected in a continuous loop, depicting a vaporous electric arc in constant reconstruction, placed behind a one-way mirror. This type of mirror reflects like a regular mirror but also reveals what is behind it, creating an ambiguous and captivating visual effect.

The image of the electric arc — floating and evanescent — merges with our own reflection in the mirror, producing a layered visual experience. The result is a sort of perpetual nebula that reflects our face in transparency, evoking a symbolic depth and an uncertain dimension between reality and illusion.
