"Even without visiting a place, we often think we know it. It’s a syndrome of the modern age. The world is right before us, on screen, summarised and sensorially curated into a particular vision that casts light across ‘just so much’ of an impression of a place and a time. In some ways, I realised this phenomenon most strongly when I visited Antarctica in the summer of 2010. In my mind’s ear (and eye) certain features of that place were front and centre – imagined, as to be real. The stark colou…
Terminal
*180 copies limited edition* "Several years ago, I walked away from a long-standing abusive relationship. The process of healing wasn’t linear, nor was it easy—but it began with something elegantly simple: walking. I spent countless hours walking through the city and in particular Point Pleasant Park, combing its rocky beaches searching for "sea brick" washed ashore. Over the course of 2 years, I collected 104 pieces of broken bricks. Each brick, a symbol of a week, a step, a moment of reclaimin…
Contrefaçons
In September 2023, at the Hiventy laboratories in Joinville-le-pont - formerly Pathé - we recorded the film restoration (image and sound) and development processes. Following the mechanical and digital processes, we listened to and interviewed the technicians to understand what goes into restoring a film. How do you restore a film to its original state? To do this, we need to get close to what viewers of the film could perceive in the cinema. The way we look at and listen to a film has evolved s…

Zones Portuaires 2
Between 2017 and 2023, while assisting Tarek Atoui with his Waters’ Witness project, I accumulated a series of recordings in maritime ports, which I have used to create this thematic suite. Rooted in documentary reflection, it presents the unembellished sounds of commercial ports and their coastlines.

Sediment
Sediment is an assemblage of field recordings made in the Swiss canton of Jura on a single day in August 2022. Jura's rock and limestone formations create a complex topology which hosts a diversity of sound spaces; human, more-than-human, geophonic, subterranean and extra-terrestrial. By walking and driving through this landscape curious pockets of activity are revealed to the listener. The layers of strata that make up Jura; earth, rock, forest, cables, pipes, factories, planes and radio towers…

Terp Interrupted
This audio recording is a new experiment, and simultaneously recalls a line of inquiry from the early practice of Christine Sun Kim. By inviting her to make a record, the curators proposed a return to her work with audio—to a series of artworks that were characterized by the sensorial vibrations and bodily experience of sound, for which she often employed voice. “I can feel [my voice] inside of my body, and in this way it is accessible to me.” Alongside an embodied connection to Deaf culture, th…

azotea / me with room
"In the building where Gudinni lives there's a large rooftop with several obsolete parabolic antennas, their dishes taller than me pointing in several directions. one late afternoon when the sun was getting lower in the sky we installed 3 pairs of microphones in different spots on the rooftop. we started making sounds moving around the space, as if getting closer / moving away from an imaginary audience scattered around us, from each other, from the traffic of cars, dogs and airplanes." - Anne-F…

Contes de sons qui se prennent pour un autre
Surface noise is the inspiration for this recording by Anri Sala. “I wanted to compose a soundtrack that mostly sounds, when played on the vinyl, like one is only listening to the physical attributes of the medium itself: the sound of the static crackling of the vinyl played by the stylus. As if it was contact music. However, in the course of the composition…the crackling starts to evolve, gradually taking the shape of other sounds. One hears hints of percussion and sometimes even distant sounds…

Mardle: Daily Rhythms of a Pond
