Texts Here, the text is on the half path between voice and picture. As the support and the illustration of a complex relationship, it gives the keys to a possible escape. Calling to imagination as much as the intimate experience of each, words take the viewer much towards in the memory of the related story.
They are set in paintings but also present in the musical ambiance, that the sound creation plays with words of mouth. They are the palimpsest of each painting. Thus, chairs speak too, in order that the meaningful instrumental ensemble is directly aimed at everyone.
Music installation
une histoire comme une autre is a traveling exhibition combining writing, painting and music. This music and the paintings are complement each other. More often silence, it comes to underline volumes that invade the characters, to reveal their intentions, so as we can share the story. Thus, the exhibition tells, and the soundtrack reveals the movement, reports the contexts, crosses the lovers’ thoughts.
This soundscape has originally been created for an installation broadcasting two distinct stereo sources.
The first one, from the ground, delimits the global universe in which the story develops: blows, soundwaves, creaks, rustles, are prolonging the volumes, the tones, and the colors of a series of nine paintings arranging in a circle.
The second source of sound (left and right channels are independent), spreading vertically from each painting, is exploring, in an ananchronistic order the privacy of both naked man and woman: as many fragments of evidences about this meeting thanks to memories of the bodies, of their complicity and then of their isolation; of their desires and besides of their repulsions until the metamorphosis of one of the partners.
