Urgence

Open studio curated by Fondation H Paris.

Loudspeaker orchestra composed of a pocket radio, a radio-CD player, a cassette recorder, a Bluetooth speaker, two loudspeakers, a DVD player, photographs presented on an LCD screen, and a video projector. In the reading room: a documentary selection of nineteen books, 2024, Paris.

Produced as part of the program Ondes, by Cité internationale des arts and French Ministry of Overseas Territories, 2024–2025.

Urgence evokes the passage of an informational cyclone, composed of second-hand objects and familiar everyday elements that become broadcasting points for sonic fragments: live radio transmissions, podcast excerpts, musical compositions, and field recordings, fixed on analog media such as CDs and cassettes. These sounds intermingle with various documents—archives, books, images—layering strata of information that saturate the space.

Through this immersive environment, Urgence invites the audience to question its relation to attention and trust: which sources to hold onto in a universe of contradictory signals?

Within this proliferation, the performance opens a reflective space on how information is selected, and on the necessity of filtering in the face of overabundance.
