Side Quest
Video game, 4-channel audio installation (2026)

Side Quest is an exhibition conceived for the art center Ygrec-ENSAPC, developed from a bespoke video game built out of interviews with professional players. The project brings together narrative fragments drawn from e-sports with core mechanisms of game design, examining how games organise actions and decisions. By repurposing these logics, the exhibition exposes their underlying assumptions and structural limits.

Visitors enter through a narrow threshold marked by two doors, stepping first into a transitional space before reaching a room where replicas of apples lie scattered across the floor. Stars punctuate the space like displaced rewards, suspended between decoration and objective, while the video game waits to be activated.

Produced by Art Center Ygrec-ENSAPC.
