What is the core message you want to convey through your work?
In da Woods : "The main idea in my work is not so much a specific message, but a feeling. I grew up in the suburbs and have always lived in cities. I love the vibe of the city at night— lights from apartment buildings, people close together yet feeling very alone. I try to capture this feeling in my videos. It’s maybe my main theme: the exploration of the individual’s place in modern urban society and their alienation."
In da Woods captures the essence of urban solitude and human connection, evoking the emotions of individuals navigating the complexities of modern city life.
Who or what is your biggest source of inspiration?
In da Woods : "My biggest sources of inspiration are the alternative scene in general, human beings, and their weaknesses."
His deep connection to the alternative scene and human nature underscores his ability to draw inspiration from vulnerability and transform it into art.
What aspect of your creative process is most important to you?
In da Woods : "I do attach quite a bit of importance to meaning, whether it is obvious, political, or more subtle and philosophical. I like for the videos to provoke a reflection that goes beyond just the search for aesthetics."
Antoine’s dedication to embedding meaning into his work—whether subtle, philosophical, or political—reflects his commitment to thought-provoking art.
What is a memorable moment in your art journey?
In da Woods : "My best moments so far have always been on stage with music. Live performance is an unmatched experience."
His live performances highlight the powerful synergy of sound and audience connection, showcasing his ability to create unforgettable shared experiences.
How do you hope your art will evolve in the future?
In da Woods : "I really enjoy working with both image and sound simultaneously. I plan to continue in this direction in the future. I also really like the format of 30-second to 3-minute videos for developing an idea. But in the future, I would love to create audiovisual installations, immersive exhibitions, and things like that."
