La Nuit, Écailles Translucides (At Night, Translucent Scales) is a sound installation composed of two portals that delves into collapse, disillusionment, and desolation in relation to the connections between passages, energy, matter, and magic. Presented for the first time in Berlin, La Nuit, Écailles Translucides draws upon Burmese and Creole cosmogonies—stemming from the experience of displacement and distance experienced by the two artists, the installation bears witness to their shared journey. The portals do not only represent openings; they also raise the question of how to be there without being there. The installation challenges the space-time fabric underpinning Newtonian physics, proposing instead portals as a quantum paradigm, which consider altered matter as both a vector and a generative source. 

On the evening of 1 November, Fèt Gede, the Haitian festival of the dead, La Nuit Écailles Translucides is activated by the performance Ile.

This installation is a collaboration between artists Sandar Tun Tun and Ife Day.
