Avatar’s Haïkus
Alexandre Berthier
For its 30th anniversary and the launch of Méduse’s collection, Avatar launches Avatar’s Haikus, created by Alexandre Berthier in collaboration with the Circuit Beaumont movie theatre.
The idea of the haiku video comes from a desire to produce profiles of artists, in which they explain their techniques and aesthetic choices in a specific project. Based on a phrase from its conceptualization (the haiku), the artist is invited to describe in simple and condensed wording an example of how they found a solution to a technical challenge and how that influenced their aesthetic approach to the specific project.
