Where does your work originate?
During my studies in the '80s, at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Centre Saint-Charles, I began to develop an artistic work that combined drawing and sculpture. In the 2000s, I came across whistled languages through collaborations with scientists. The work I have produced since then-films, installations, drawings/partitions, and sculptures-questions the relationship between language, music, writing, and the landscape.

What role do the five senses play in your artistic practice?
The works I produce summon the senses: hearing, since my productions are sound pieces; sight, since the works are exhibited like music to be seen; and finally touch, because the works I create allow the public a sensitive experience in close contact with the sculptures. For example, every piece on display, whether drawing/partition or installation, invites the visitor to experiment with sound and its material...

What do the works shown here symbolize in terms of this theme?
The works presented in the exhibitions at the Musée Jean-Lurçat et de la Tapisserie Contemporaine invite viewers to explore perceptive experiences. These invitations to sensitive and tangible readings of sculptures where touch, hearing, and sight are invoked, allow us to experience and perceive sound un all its states.
