Écouter l'artiste

I appropriate sonar imaging techniques, used mainly by the army or for industrial fishing, to film in sound the levitation of a body underwater.

A sonar emits ultrasounds in the water, which spread and bounce off the submerged body so as to recreate its presence. The image produced by the sound shows what escapes human vision in the depths.

By transforming the modalities of perception, I am proposing a gaze without eyes. Inspired by animal echolocation, And you want to travel blind is an attempted echography of humanity, linking the world in utero to a post-chaos world.
