Sound installation, trunks, mushrooms (Amadouvier), salt, sound system, 2014

Two trunks lying in the piece. On their bark eroded by time pushed some mushrooms of different sizes. This dry atmosphere is animate by a sound environment that evokes a strange microscopic activity; decomposition, water movement across the spore, micro organisms moving … These sounds come from the mushrooms themselves through speakers hidden inside. They make an audible agitation usually imperceptible with sounds almost abstract of a probable internal world. The floor covered with salt crystals enhances the scope of this mineral / vegetal composition.
