As the director’s controversial film about cruising French aristocrats is reimagined as an immersive show in Amsterdam, he talks about the liberatory power of darkness and the necessary dangers of intimacy

“ has been a subject in all my films,” Serra says. “As a real thing, and as a metaphor.” In Pacifiction, it’s present in the nightlife of the French Polynesian island Tahiti. Study of My Death, meanwhile, takes place in what Serra calls “a night of civilisation,” another 18th-century reverie that anticipates the horrifying twists of European history.

There is a “tricky aspect” to darkness, though, Serra admits. “It’s a pressure of the night that it will end.” The immersive Liberté exhibition closes, like the film it’s based on, with a sunrise, and the gallery’s lights are synchronised to go up with this on-screen act of illumination. Daybreak brings the wild night to a close, but it also leaves the visitor totally exposed to their fellow viewers and voyeurs.
