OF SOILS

 

The video work Of Soil explores the relationship between patterns in nature and infinity. The artist is interested in the complexity of nature when it suggests infinity and chaos. Of Soil is composed of photographic fragments and geometric elements, arranged in intricate patterns that create a trance-like, kaleidoscopic interplay of shimmering sun and dark moon, landscape, light and shadow, as day gives way to night.

Using digital special effects software such as After Effects, Yoshi Sodeoka produced Of Soil by manipulating still and moving images and various combinations of filters to mimic natural optics. The soundtrack was produced by MYMK, a long-time collaborator of Yoshi Sodeoka.

About the Riviera Marriott Hotel La Porte de Monaco

The Riviera Marriott La Porte de Monaco was the first Marriott to open in France and is one of the jewels of the Marriott group. Accustomed to visits by Prince Albert of Monaco, and to stays by Mr. Marriott himself, the Cap d’Ail establishment – located at… 1.20 meters from the border of Monaco – has recently undergone a makeover! A new lease of life for the establishment, revamped under the leadership of designer Aliénor Blond. The focus was on the exterior to create an urban oasis around the pool and the Bolinas restaurant.

Treat yourself to a luxury getaway at the Riviera Marriott Hotel La Porte de Monaco. This hotel in Cap-d’Ail is just steps from the beaches and minutes from Monaco. An unforgettable experience combining art, relaxation and gastronomy awaits you!
