TOM at Catharine Clark Gallery

Innovation meets age-old questions in this dark and affecting journey of self-discovery, touching on issues of loneliness, isolation, mental health, and the perseverance of the human spirit.

This soul searching, poetic film combines the hip hop language of b-boying with cutting-edge technologies including animation, photogrammetry, and chroma-key capture. Set in a hinterland between the civilized world and the wilderness, TOM tells the story of one man’s journey to rediscover who he really is.

*Please note: the Catharine Clark Gallery is now re-open to the public. Limited seating is available in compliance with city and CDC mandates

Using motion capture, director Hugo Arcier strips the bodies of three dancers performing on the Palais Garnier stage down to the interlacing movements of atoms. The result is a mesmerizing film revealing the quintessence of dance and movement.
