Quentin L’helgoualc’h develops an artistic practice that blends sculpture, film, drawing, and installation. Alongside his artistic research, he dedicates himself to works conceived and created with the collective In extremis. Following a first short film, Marlowe Drive (2017), he directed a documentary film immersed in the virtual spaces of the video game DayZ, in collaboration with video artists Ekiem Barbier and Guilhem Causse: Knit’s Island (2023). Together, they create a film within this virtual world, presenting themselves to the players as a real documentary crew: direct cinema shooting, tracking shots, interviews, shot/reverse shot… The perilous mission of the three directors takes the shape of an investigation into the virtualization of our lives, and into the limits and possibilities of a metaverse.
