Hitchcock-inspired interiors by Atelier Aveus
Atelier Aveus shares their stunning 3D interior collection inspired by Hitchcock. In collaboration with 3D artist Ergun Ayral, they created virtual interior environment for the audience to escape inside.
“Hitchcock often represented the physical world as a projection of a disturbed person shown through striking set design and lighting effects. That type of “expressive decor” has been particularly interesting to work on and adapt for this project. Following this approach and cultivating the dramatic potential of the domestic sphere, we staged our new pieces of furniture in a series of visuals, almost conceived as a short storyboard.”
Influx
A mother finds herself sinking into a domestic violent relationship, until an influx of emotions is awakened within her.
‘Influx’ is a poetic short film that sinks into the themes of domestic violence, alcoholism, and love. Inspired by Leslie Morgan Steiner's TED talk: ‘Why domestic violence victims don’t leave’. And by the countless stories of mothers trapped in abusive relationships and the power of love for their children.
This film was made to spark hope and connect with those that find themselves in unhealthy domestic relationships. Given the current situation with the virus lockdown and recent rise in domestic abuse and alcoholism, the importance of having a dialogue with audiences regarding domestic violence is vital.

Sanctum by Levi van Veluw
Dutch artist Levi van Velum created an immersive installation “Sanctum” curated by Angel Moya Garcia
“The installation Sanctum, developed especially for Tenuta Dello Scompiglio, testifying of a fictitious religious conviction, engages all the senses of the visitor. The last room where visitors ended their journey in Kerguénnec, "The relativity of the matter", becomes the starting point for a more elaborate proposition in the expositive space of Dello Scompiglio. Levi van Veluw based Sanctum on of the first religious buildings, the Tabernacle, also called the tent of meeting. This tent served as a place of worship and symbolised God’s presence amidst those who had gathered.”
