Laure Prouvost’s new commissioned installation WE FELT A STAR DYING with LAS Art Foundation, opens on Thursday, 20 February 2025 at Kraftwerk Berlin.

In this new commission, Laure Prouvost explores quantum phenomena and their sensitivity to cosmic and planetary forces. 2025 marks a century since quantum physics became established, and today its applications are predicted to enact a paradigm shift in our world. Following two years of research and rare access to a quantum computer, Laure Prouvost presents a multi-sensory new work with LAS.

The commission begins with the question: “How could we sense reality from a quantum perspective?” Prouvost draws video, sound, scent, sculpture and scenography together into a fluid installation tuned to the highly sensitive and unpredictable characteristics of quantum computers. It merges Prouvost’s playful ways of shifting audience perception with the counterintuitive logic of quantum physics, aiming to bring audiences into the emerging world of quantum technologies.
