Évian
Cafun.

More than twenty years of electronic music practice and an earlier moving-image archive now feed Sharkbeams Culture through original sound, field listening, camera and site-responsive direction.

Current practice

Sound and camera are ways of reading a place.

Évian's background in house, techno, DJ performance and broadcast now feeds a broader practice: original composition, field material, processed sound, spatial listening, live electronic performance and moving image.

Within Sharkbeams, sound can expose scale, distance, rhythm and enclosure. The camera can hold a site still as evidence or disturb the frame through proximity, obstruction, reflection and unstable perspective.

Role inside Sharkbeams
01

Sound

Listen for reverberation, ambient systems, human movement, leakage and acoustic boundaries; build original sonic material from the site's tension.

02

Moving image

Use camera as witness or intervention. Earlier moving-image instincts now inform a formal Sharkbeams camera grammar.

03

Direction / score

Shape the relationship between site, Yuuki's response, sound, audience position, camera, documentation and production.

Selected history
20+ years

DJing and electronic music

Long-form practice across house, techno and adjacent electronic music.

Archive 00

Earlier moving-image practice

Fragmented framing, bodily proximity, environmental interruption, colour distortion and unstable perspective developed in work predating Sharkbeams Culture.
