‘The Light and the Heavy’ collected tales from Hungary by Sophie Durand and Magali Rifflart-Villeneuve is presented as a multi-media installation and a book of the same name. These stories: a journey through shared experiences and dreams in Hungary oscillate between the felt, the imagined and the experienced.

Sophie Durand is an interdisciplinary artist from Perth, Western Australia. Durand’s practice extends from the intersection of sculpture and performance art.  Durand’s work draws from anecdotal histories and archives for subject matter.

Magali Rifflart-Villeneuve is a French artist based in Paris, whose practice explores the connection between altered states of consciousness and the act of creation. Rifflart-Villeneuve uses paintings, photography, writing, video and multimedia installations provoke a destabilization of the perception and to arouse an unconscious ecstasy.
