Ces quelques fleurs

Ivy leaf, copper wire, magnet, audio amplifier & player

2007 · Salle Crosnier — Geneva (CH)

816 ivy leaves are woven onto copper wires through which an electrical current (or sound signal) flows. A magnet is placed behind each leaf, allowing it to move according to a predefined sound.

The freshly woven leaves gradually dry during the exhibition, subtly transforming both their visual appearance and their sonic response.
