description
Je me suis rendu compte à quel point le magnétophone pouvait être précieux, jusqu’à quel point c’est une nouvelle mémoire. Ça prolonge notre mémoire comme le télescope prolonge notre œil.
– Pierre Perrault
Perrault came to film through the microphone, which he conceived as a guarantor of memory, country and parlance. Using Nicolas Bernier’s video based on Catherine Chaumont’s prints, I invited four musicians to express their perception of the moving pictures. These recordings were transformed into a landscape of sound. Composing a soundtrack for the images allowed me to create a time frame for the viewer to experience the artwork.
