is a sound installation and an artists’ book. The trylogy reflects the night as a spatial condition, as well as transitional spaces of the Île de Nantes, an urban island in Nantes, France.
Three installations were developed for different locations of the island: A hotel room, a sound studio, and a seminar room. Each responded to the nocturnal conditions of its setting through sound and scenography, treating the night as a place in its own right and as a condition that alters how places are inhabited, perceived, and experienced.
For the exhibition at Fabrica de Moagem (Museu de Lisboa) an artist’s book including sound, text and image was developed. The book guides you through places and processes by inviting to stay, read, and listen. To think about bats, colonial legacy, imagery, infrastructure, the Loire river and vampires.
Some of the soundpieces and fieldrecordings including description are accessible via bandcamp:
