Imagine a world where people have a geometric shaped gaping hole instead of a mouth and that’s what you would see if Cacophonie played out.
Cacophonie is a long term ‘retro-futuristic’ multimedia project headed up by Quentin Caffier with the goal of creating an alternative world moving and living independently, consisting of many different patterns of expression. The project got started with the series of photographs (as seen in the Gallery above), followed by a music album, interactive website to create masks, culminating into evening expos/performances which took place last week.
If you’d like to know what geometric shape your mouth would take form of in a world such as this, there’s a Facebook quiz to help you figure it out.
