Fragments contre temps (Fragments Against Time)

Line [cross the] - Villa Bernasconi / Lancy - 2008

100 motorized music boxes placed on tiles.

The sound installation takes place in an attic.
Arriving, the visitor needs time for his eyes get used to
the darkness.
Punctually and randomly, music box tones are produced
all over the roof, solo notes surrounding the visitor.
Waiting and listening for these, he realizes slowly
how one hears - through the tiles - the outside soundscape
(traffic, birds, wind, rain), even standing indoor.
