A sound installation

"lf the map is an artistic measurement of the world, symmetrically the artistic measurement of the world can be regarded as a kind of map" Jean-marc Besse

Presentation: "to organize visibility"
Installed in the Gallery and the Queen's Tower of the museum-castle, the installation is initially defined as a sound observatory of the landscape, specifically of its water. It raises the question of representation (of landscape) through sound - how can sound teach us of absent realities from a ‘visible landscape? How does this listening proceed from and concern measurement ? (i.e. a sonic survey of the surface of the visible.) The installation involves a pointillistic dematerialization of the landscape, tracing from it a derived map. In this observed landscape, the ear thwarts its perspective, connecting the listener to sonic singularities. In contact with these new territories, it creates another awareness of what confronts and often submerges the listener.
