Vu d'ici

(From here), soundwork (FR), Festival Monde et merveilles, Liège, 2016

Memories, stories, imagination, collective memory, media ... our mind has many resources to cross distance and build representions of the world. In this project, I want to highlight this ability, sometimes compulsive, to picture the "elsewhere".

 

With a list of countries, I walked in Brussel's streets asking a simple question: "What does this country evoke for you ?". Recording of their answers are combined to create an oral and collective portrait, between realism and caricature, of each country.
