THE SPECTRAL ROOM
CAC Les Tanneries, Amilly (F)
2022
Sound and light installation
Variable size
The spectrum room is a sound and light installation. It was composed for the large hall of
the CAC Les Tanneries in Amilly for the Épochè exhibition. Piece built in layers, it unfolds
continuously in space by exploring the acoustic qualities of the place as well as certain
elements of its history: the continuous flow of water once draining the basement, the circular
and repetitive movement of machines, the architecture with a palpable stratigraphy, gaps traced
in the stone. On the ground, all the lit but closed vats reveal a gap through their interstices.
The Spectral room is based on the frequency spectra linked to sleep activity, alpha, beta,
theta and gamma waves, made audible and modulated without interruption, by cyclic rhythms.
A possibility through its modulations to bring out images, presences, other sleeping places.
