“The screen transformed into a kind of automatic painting... the initial image of a flower becomes a fish, which in turn becomes a hen, before being transformed into a human face and finally the head of a faun.”Steven Jacobs, ‘Framing Pictures’ (2012), on Picasso painting on glass in Paul Haesaerts’ film Visite à Picasso

DIVE is a large-scale immersive audio-visual installation conceived by artist Enya Lachman-Curl, film maker Tim Fok, designer Robbie Thompson and composer Joseph McGann. Tim’s film captures Enya’s process as she applies cerulean blue oil paint onto a glass triptych: the camera faces the glass frontally, capturing her creative actions. Set in complete darkness, the visitor is invited to explore the film, projected onto three screens, with only the lights of Enya’s brushstrokes to guide them.
