A documentary by Alexandre Bazin featuring David Toop, Bill Fontana, Christina Kubisch, Max Eastley, and Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, with INA archive footage. Translated and dubbed by Spencer Bambrough.
This second installment continues the exploration of sound as material, extending it to space and the environment. Sound is no longer limited to objects or instruments: it becomes a flow, circulation, phenomenon. Through installations, recordings, and invisible devices, it becomes part of reality, revealing tensions.
From the wind in Max Eastley’s strings to Bill Fontana’s vibratory architectures, from Christina Kubisch’s electromagnetic fields to Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s living ecosystems, a new way of listening emerges: an extended, situated, immersive listening experience.
Sound becomes landscape, memory, and presence – a way of inhabiting the world.
