Seeing Quintuple is a multidisciplinary installation inspired by gravitational lensing, a phenomenon where light bends around massive celestial objects. The project mirrors this phenomenon by giving rise to five distinct collaborations, each linked to a different medium: text, sign language, sculpture, virtual reality, and installation. Stars serve as metaphors to explore themes of existence, relationships, and transformation.

Each collaboration is inspired by a specific star:
Vindemiatrix: Together with Ilse Jobse and Thomas Brand, this trilogy of films explores humanity's thirst for knowledge, illustrating perception through its logical (Apollonian) and instinctual (Dionysian) sides.
Zaniah: Pedro Matias’s sculptures represent a triple-star system, reflecting the instability and fluid dynamics of non-hierarchical systems, with the audience becoming part of this expanding complexity.
Porrima: Written by André Lourenço and voiced by Angelo Custódio, this piece reflects on the binary nature of the Porrima star system, exploring the delicate balance between solitude and connection.
Minelauva: A virtual reality experience created with Giulia Principe that allows the audience to embody the star’s journey through its various life stages—from nebula to white dwarf—while its shifting luminosity is transformed into a pulsating sonic composition that echoes its rhythmic fluctuations.
Spica: Created in collaboration with Mathilde Renault, the installation reflects the duality and convergence of opposites symbolized by this double-star system. The intricate dance of its stars mirrors the interconnectedness of various artistic mediums, illustrating how their gravitational pull shapes their evolution.
