Ces quelques fleurs (These Few Flowers)

2007

816 ivy leaves, copper wire, magnets, amplifier & audio player.

816 ivy leaves cover a wall. They are all linked and woven with
copper wire, in which a current (as sound wave) goes through.
Behind each leave is placed a magnet, thus moving the leave
according to specific sounds. Leaves play the role of a membrane,
as a loudspeaker's cone would.
At the opening, leaves are fresh. They will get drier and drier
during the exhibition. Their aspect and sound quality are
evolving through the days.
