ORT was commissioned to seamlessly wrap around Oscar Niemeyer’s enigmatic Le Volcan,
a theater building in Le Havre, France. It was shown for 3 weeks, each night, during October 2017.

ORT juxtaposes natural environments, mostly deserts in Utah, US and Sharjah, UAE, with digitally
constructed landscapes, grids and atmospheres. Monumental human heads - CGI characters, 
created from original motion captures of 3 performers - are sitting in-, drifting over- and sparsely
populating the panoramic landscapes of ORT. Inspired by the ancient statues of Easter Island,
these 3D heads, equally natural and synthetic, exist in motion loops only, devoid of bodies.

ORT, after its initial presentation in Le Havre, is shown now in gallery spaces, in its “unrolled”
long stretch panorama form.
