“Cimetière spatial” est une installation sonore imaginée dans le cadre de l'exposition Cosmopolitiques organisée par le collectif Polynome à Buropolis (Marseille) en avril 2022.

En 1957, la chienne Laïka est le premier être vivant à avoir été mis en orbite autour de la Terre. Cette installation s’inspire de son histoire et de celles des autres animaux décédés dans l’espace pour construire un hommage, un moment de recueillement, un monument funèbre à ces êtres jamais revenus. Laïka, les singes Albert I et Albert II, les araignées Arabella et Anita... nombreux·ses sont celles et ceux qui ont péri lors de missions de recherche sur les effets de l’espace sur le vivant. Sans elles et eux, l’exploration spatiale humaine n’aurait probablement pas eu lieu. 
Cette installation nous invite à réfléchir aux relations entre humains et non-humains, aux exploitations passées et aux possibilités d’empathie et de partage qui s’ouvrent à nous.

Un projet développé avec le soutien du collectif Polynome.
Mixage par Boris Gobin.
Prix de la Création sonore format court au festival International du Film d'Environnement (Toulouse).

How beautiful shines 
To me, the nature! 
How the sun glows! 
How the mead smiles!

Blossoms penetrate 
From each branch 
And a thousand voices 
Out of the shrubbery

And joy, and joy 
From each breast. 
O earth, o sun,
O joy o lust!

O love, o love!
As golden, as beautiful 
As the morning clouds 
On those heights

You bless gloriously 
The fresh field
The blossoms’ steam 
The bountiful world.

O girl, girl
How I love you! 
Your eyes gaze! 
How you love me!

This is the way the lark loves 
Song and air
And morning flowers
The smell of heaven

How much I love you, 
My blood warmed
By you, for me, a youth, 
And joy and courage

For new songs
And dances
May you be happy eternally 
As long as you love me.

Prerecorded sounds include two field recordings of a wind turbine in Bernau bei Berlin, recorded by Peter Cusack, 2021.

the being/the world (2024) scenes 10, 11, 12 (extract)

L’été derrière la fenêtre ce sont les voix d’enfants dits autistes dans la parenthèse de leurs vacances à la campagne. Des oscillations sonores pour donner à entendre un monde intérieur, tantôt naïf, tantôt angoissant, à priori imperceptible, et tenter de raconter un peu ces « gamins-là ».

Sur une invitation du photographe Lionel Jusseret.
Prix du Jury - SONOHR Radio & Podcast Festival 2021
