Soundnotes

The Echoes of the Breaths

In collaboration with artist Katharina Pelosi, Kathrin Wildner "re-listened" to the sound work she produced in August 2018 in Marseille during her residency at the FRAC Provence-Alpe-Côte d'Azur, as part of her project Le souffle de la Joliette. These sounds, made from field recordings, interviews, and audio diaries, highlight several aspects of the Marseille port area such as traffic, demolitions, construction sites and the "executive noise" of new office buildings and shopping centers.
Over time, in this part of the city, new soundscapes have emerged as a result of this urban transformation, political movements, and the emergence of new forms of daily resistance. Beyond the different sound strata, new rhythms, new materials, and new narratives appear.
During their residency at the Camargo Foundation, located a day's walk from Marseille, Kathrin Wildner and Katharina Pelosi worked on the echoes of this urban noise by asking themselves a question: What happens to this sound material when listened to from Cassis?

Kathrin Wildner and Katharina Pelosi were in residence at Camargo in 2019, in partnership with the Goethe Institut Marseille Partnership Program.
