Join us for the first public presentation of Phonautograph, the long-awaited result from 2019-2020 Overtoon residents VOID, during [vwaʁ], their solo exhibition at the Galerie Papillon in Paris.
OPENING [removed] Arnaud Eeckhout (BE, 1987) and Mauro Vitturini (IT, 1985) created the duo VOID in 2013 as a way to research and explore sound. Their work consists of giving body to sound by inscribing it onto different media resulting in plastic works with a range of contours: installations, sculptures, drawings, books, objects… This first solo exhibition in France at the Galerie Papillon is an invitation to discover the different sides of their research. Sound has no packaging of its own, it is by essence intangible. VOID tries to materialize the immaterial by developing different writing processes to represent sound, to translate it into visual language. If this representation of sound is not always blatantly obvious, a poetry does emerge that is often paradoxically nourished by scientific inspirations. To appreciate with the eyes something we cannot hear, we must dive into this abstract universe that, despite a sometime systematic approach, invites the viewer to contemplate. With Phonautograph , VOID revisits the process invented in 1860 by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville who made the first sound recording in history. A needle, connected to a loudspeaker, scrapes a cylinder coated with carbon. This needle draws lines on the white of the paper following a sampling in real time of anonymous voices found on YouTube. These drawings show the traces of the oscillation of these voices which appear ghost-like. Galerie Papillon in 75003 Paris, France, 13 rue Chapon |
